When dma_fence_signal() is called, it sets a flag to indicate the fenece
is complete. Before the dma_fence is signaled, the seqno check will
first be passed. However, if the request is being held by an observer
across a global seqno reset, it is possible for the observer to not
notice the seqno completion (as the HWS is now zero), but instead we
rely on the signaled bit. External holders of the request should be
using the fence interface which does first check the signaled bit - it
will only be an unlocked waiter that may not notice the request
completion.
By that analysis, the problem is old as our unlocked waits, but this
patch depends upon subclassing dma-fence, so use that as the base
commit.

It is obviously correct in a way that it can never give a false
positive, even though I haven't quite figured how we had false negatives
without it. I'll leave that for a new day. Hopefully there are no other
places in our code which could be affected in the same way?
