That won't work. I want to wait for FENCE_OWNER_VM fences, so I need to
use FENCE_OWNER_UNDEFINED. But then I would also end up waiting for
FENCE_OWNER_KFD eviction fences, which would trigger unwanted evictions.

This works OK in amdgpu_vm_make_compute because it runs before the
eviction fence is attached to the VM.
