To be precise, any kernel that does *not* have commit 954605ca3 "drm/radeon: use common fence implementation for fences, v4" requires this additional NULL pointer guard.] An arbitrary amount of time can pass between spin_unlock and radeon_fence_wait_any, so we need to ensure that nobody frees the fences from under us. Based on the analogous fix for amdgpu.
