4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> commit 24a367348a017555f982a9ee137070a7a821fa97 upstream. This was missed when adding a dma_fence_get call. While at it also remove the kerneldoc for the static inline helper - no point documenting internals down to every detail.
