It is perfect fine to have both, I just wasn't expecting to get them out
from the kernel at the same time. In-fence is set by userspace in the
fence_fd field and then sent to the kernel, the field is then reused to
send the out-fence created in the kernel to userspace. That is how GPU
drivers do it.
