From: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haehnle@amd.com>

[Backport of upstream commit f6ff4f67cdf8455d0a4226eeeaf5af17c37d05eb, with
 an additional NULL pointer guard that is required for kernels 3.17 and older.

 To be precise, any kernel that does *not* have commit 954605ca3 "drm/radeon:
 use common fence implementation for fences, v4" requires this additional
 NULL pointer guard.]

An arbitrary amount of time can pass between spin_unlock and
radeon_fence_wait_any, so we need to ensure that nobody frees the
fences from under us.

Based on the analogous fix for amdgpu.
