[RFC 2/6] dma-buf/fence: add struct fence_collection

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

The struct aggregates fences that we need to wait on before proceed with
some specific operation. In DRM, for example, we may wait for a group of
fences to signal before we scanout the buffers related to those fences.
