Mhm, actually it was one of our developers who added the shortcut into 
reservation_object_wait_timeout_rcu().

But it looks like we forgot to clean this up in the amdgpu driver after 
doing this. So thanks for taking care of this.

Patch #1 as well as patch #6 are Reviewed-by: Christian König 
<christian.koenig at amd.com>.

For patch #6 there is also an use case for this in TTM 
ttm_bo_add_move_fence().

We could change the lock into an RCU if we can make sure that we get an 
up to date RCU protected fence and not NULL if the fence becomes freed 
right at the wrong time.

Regards,
Christian.
