So poll will wait until the fence is set before the sync_file is
signaled, but here we return NULL. At the moment this is interpretted by
the callers as an error (since we can't distinguish between the lookup
error and the empty sync_file). However, if it is empty we also want to
delay the dependent execution until the fence is set to match the poll
semantics.
