[PATCH 0/7] drm/syncobj: Add full-featured wait support (v3)

[Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net>]

This is the third full re-send of my syncobj patches.  The final patch is
somewhere between v2 and v3.  After I sent out v2, Christian suggested that
I use wait_event_interruptible_timeout so I did in v3 with a few other
improvements.  Then Chris suggested I rework things to use proxy fences so
I did.  When Christian NAK'd the proxy fence approach, I suggested we fall
back to v3.  However, he didn't like the fact that using waitqueues with
the syncobj callbacks leaves us with two layers of callbacks.  That brings
us to this version.

christian's suggestion to get rid of a layer of callbacks was to use a
waitqueue in drm_syncobj instead of making our own callback list.  This is
problematic, however, because we really need to be able to wait on two
kinds of things: syncobj fence replacement and dma-fence triggering and we
need to wait on both simultaneously.  This leaves us with two options:

 1) Rework dma-fence to use waitqueues instead of its own call-back
    mechanism then add waitqueue code to perform a wait_any operation.

 2) Fall back to the approach in v2 and not bother with waitqueues.

I prefer the second option because we have userspace code that is waiting
for this kernel feature and I'd like to land it sooner rather than later.
Blocking syncobj wait support on additions to the core kernel waitqueue
code sounds like it will delay things significantly.  I'd be moderately ok
with spending some time working on this refactoring if people really think
it's worth the time but I'd rather not block on it.

This version takes the old approach (without waitqueues) of v2 but carries
the improvements and bugfixes from v3 and v4.
