The timestamp returned by SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO is the "timestamp of
status change in nanoseconds". If userspace signals the fence with
DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_SIGNAL, then a timestamp from
drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle corresponds to the status change. If
userspace sets DRM_SYNCOBJ_CREATE_SIGNALED when creating a fence, then
the status change happens immediately upon creation, which again
corresponds to when drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle gets called.

Ack.
