Is there a point in making sleep_bo optional?

I think rfence->sleep_bo should only be unreferenced in
r600_fence_reference() when the fence is recycled, otherwise it'll be
leaked if r600_fence_finish() is never called for some reason.

If r600_fence_finish() only ever called os_time_sleep(), never
sched_yield() (like r300_fence_finish()), would that avoid your problem
even with a finite timeout?
