I'm still concerned about possible race conditions between 
amdkfd_fence_signal and amdkfd_fence_enable_signaling. I think the 
latter is always called with the fence->lock held. So this could be 
fixed by taking the fence->lock in amdkfd_fence_signal:

void amdkfd_fence_signal(struct dma_fence *f)
{
	struct amdgpu_amdkfd_fence *fence = to_amdgpu_amdkfd_fence(f);
	unsigned long flags;

	spin_lock_irqsave(f->lock, &flags);
	if (fence && fence->mm) {
		mmdrop(fence->mm);
		fence->mm = NULL;
	}
	dma_fence_signal_locked(f);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(f->lock, flags);
}

Also note that you need to NULL-check fence->mm (here and in 
enable_signaling) because mmdrop doesn't have a check.
