The current code is subject to a race where we may try to acquire a
reference on a stale fence:

This is fixed by using the kref_get_unless_zero() as a full memory
barrier to validate the fence is still the current exclusive fence before
returning it back to the caller. (Note the fix only requires using
dma_fence_get_rcu() and correct handling, but we may as well use the
helper rather than inline equivalent code.)
