[PATCH] dma-buf: add dma_fence_timestamp helper

When a fence signals there is a very small race window where the timestamp
isn't updated yet. sync_file solves this by busy waiting for the
timestamp to appear, but on other ocassions didn't handled this
correctly.

Provide a dma_fence_timestamp() helper function for this and use it in
all appropriate cases.

Another alternative would be to grab the spinlock when that happens.

v2 by teddy: add a wait parameter to wait for the timestamp to show up, in case
   the accurate timestamp is needed and/or the timestamp is not based on
   ktime (e.g. hw timestamp)
v3 chk: drop the parameter again for unified handling
