Abstract the complexity of iterating over all the fences
in a dma_resv object.

The new loop handles the whole RCU and retry dance and
returns only fences where we can be sure we grabbed the
right one.

If rcu lock is allowed to be dropped while walking the list what guarantees list of fences hasn't been freed?

Like:

1st call
  -> gets seqcount
  -> stores cursor->fences

rcu lock dropped/re-acquired

2nd call
  -> dereferences into cursor->fences -> boom?

Is_first is useful to callers - like they are legitimately allowed to look inside this, what could otherwise be private object? What is the intended use case, given when true the returned fence can be either exclusive or first from a shared list?

+	bool is_exclusive;

Is_exclusive could be written as index == -1 in the code, right? If so then an opportunity to remove some redundancy.

Has the fact RCU lock can be dropped so there is potential to walk over completely different snapshots been discussed?

At least if I followed the code correctly - it appears there is potential the walk restarts from the start (exclusive slot) at any point during the walk.

Because theoretically I think you could take an atomic snapshot of everything (given you have a cursor object) and then release it on the end condition.
