[ Upstream commit 9eb00b5f5697bd56baa3222c7a1426fa15bacfb5 ]

Delete the attempt to progress the queue when checking if fence is
signaled. This avoids deadlock.

dma-fence_ops::signaled can be called with the fence lock in unknown
state. For radeon, the fence lock is also the wait queue lock. This can
cause a self deadlock when signaled() tries to make forward progress on
the wait queue. But advancing the queue is unneeded because incorrectly
returning false from signaled() is perfectly acceptable.
