Actually I've chatted a bit with Maarten about the different ways we
could restrict both the calling context and the implementations for
fence callbacks to avoid surprises. One is certainyl that we need
WARN_ON(in_interrupt) around the wait, enable_singaling and add
callback stuff.

But we also talked about ensure that the ->signaled callback never
sleeps by wrapping it in a preempt_enable/disable section. Currently
sleeping is allowed in ->signaled, which the radeon implementation
here does. I think it would be reasonable to forbid this and drop
__radeon_fence_signaled.
