If a signal callback releases the sw_sync fence, that will trigger a deadlock as the timeline_fence_release recurses onto the fence->lock (used both for signaling and the the timeline tree). If we always hold a reference for an unsignaled fence held by the timeline, we no longer need to detach the fence from the timeline upon release. This is only possible since commit ea4d5a270b57 ("dma-buf/sw_sync: force signal all unsignaled fences on dying timeline") where we introduced decoupling of the fences from the timeline upon release.
