I am not clear here - could you be more specific about what races will 
happen here, more bellow

Do you mean that by the time I reach here some other thread from my 
group already might dequeued SIGKILL since it's a shared signal and 
hence fatal_signal_pending will return false ? Or are you talking about 
the dma_fence_wait_timeout implementation in dma_fence_default_wait with 
schedule_timeout ?
