The issue is that we can't really initialize the fence until
msm_job_run(), when it is known what order the fence would be
signaled.  But we don't want to do any allocations in msm_job_run()
because that could trigger the shrinker, which could need to wait
until jobs complete to release memory, forming a deadlock.
