NAK, I'm wondering how often I have to reject that change. We should
probably add a comment here.

Even with a zero timeout we still need to enable signaling, otherwise some
fence will never signal if userspace just polls on them.

If a caller is only interested in the fence status without enabling the
signaling it should call dma_fence_is_signaled() instead.
Can we not move the return 0 (with spin unlock) down after we enabling
signalling, but before
we enter the schedule_timeout(1)?

Yes, that would be an option.
