I don't think there is anything to move into libEGL. st/dri doesn't
add a context pointer to the fence, instead it adds a screen pointer,
which is a different thing.

This i965 fix is probably not thread-safe, because eglClientWaitSync
can be called from another thread and contexts typically contain no
locks.
