Not keen, not for changing just _release as we end up with _acquire/_arm
and that does not seem symmetrical.

_release_deferred() _release_barrier() perhaps, but no need to
differentiate yet. _release_barrier() winning so far.

We've been replacing ret with err (where it makes more sense to ask "if
(error) do error_path;) for a few years. :-p

Crazy huh :) We are at the point where it is safer to release than
unwind; i915_active_cancel is quite ugly.

It does get a bit simpler later on when we rewrite i915_active and
drive this as an acquire callback.

Only user so far far. But i915_active is our answer to
reservation_object on steroids, so itself should be quite generic.
