Yeah, or at least wake them up somehow and restart it. Or well at least
think what would happen when that does, and whether we care. If vk says
you get undefined behaviour when you replace the fence of a semaphore when
the old one hasn't signalled yet, then we don't need to do anything.
But if they spec some behaviour poll returning "ready" way after you've
replaced the fence and the new one is definitely not ready is a bit
confusing semantics. Or maybe that's exactly the semantics vulkan once,
but then we need to be careful with restarts and stuff.
wrt the oops I think there's a possibility of a use-after-free: Thus far
the wait inherited the fence reference from the sync_file (since poll
stops before the file ref is gone), but now the fence could disappear
underneath it. add_callback itself doesn't grab a reference on its own.
So either we need synchronous replacement for poll or grab a reference
there. I think at least ... coffee not yet entirely working. In any case,
this kind of nasty corner case is perfect for some vgem testing.
