Applied to drm-misc.

Fundamentally this is a property of how the fence is implemented. A flag
indicating that this fence will eventually signal, even when
enable_signalling isn't called seems like a perfectly ok approach.

We might want to spell out the different expectations clearly though, i.e.
if you block on a fence you must still call ->enable_signalling for prompt
signalling (and maybe it's needed to handle blocking waits or whatever).
