Currently, we cancel outstanding requests within a context when the
context is closed. We may also want to cancel individual requests using
the same graceful preemption mechanism.

v2 (Tvrtko):
  * Cancel waiters carefully considering no timeline lock and RCU.
  * Fixed selftests.

So I need to fix this error propagation to waiters in order to avoid potential stack overflow caught in shards (gem_ctx_ringsize).

Or alternatively we decide not to propagate fence errors. Not sure that consequences either way are particularly better or worse. Things will break anyway since what userspace inspects for unexpected fence errors?!

So rendering corruption more or less. Can it cause a further stream of GPU hangs I am not sure. Only if there is a inter-engine data dependency involving data more complex than images/textures.
