[PATCH] staging/android: refactor SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan at collabora.co.uk>

Change SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO behaviour to avoid future API breaks and
optimize buffer allocation. In the new approach the ioctl needs to be called
twice to retrieve the array of fence_infos pointed by info->sync_fence_info.

The first call should pass num_fences = 0, the kernel will then fill
info->num_fences. Userspace receives back the number of fences and
allocates a buffer size num_fences * sizeof(struct sync_fence_info) on
info->sync_fence_info.

It then call the ioctl again passing num_fences received in info->num_fences.
The kernel checks if info->num_fences > 0 and if yes it fill
info->sync_fence_info with an array containing all fence_infos.

info->len now represents the length of the buffer sync_fence_info points
to. Also, info->sync_fence_info was converted to __u64 pointer.

An example userspace code would be:

	struct sync_file_info *info;
	int err, size, num_fences;

	info = malloc(sizeof(*info));

	memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info));

	err = ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO, info);
	num_fences = info->num_fences;

	if (num_fences) {
		memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info));
		size = sizeof(struct sync_fence_info) * num_fences;
		info->len = size;
		info->num_fences = num_fences;
		info->sync_fence_info = (uint64_t) calloc(num_fences,
							  sizeof(struct sync_fence_info));

		err = ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO, info);
	}

v2: fix fence_info memory leak
