[PATCH] dma-buf: avoid scheduling on fence status query

When a timeout of zero is specified, the caller is only interested in
the fence status.
In the current implementation, dma_fence_default_wait will always call
schedule_timeout() at least once for an unsignaled fence. This adds a
significant overhead to a fence status query.
Avoid this overhead by returning early if a zero timeout is specified.

This heavily affects the performance of the Source2 engine running on
radv.
This patch improves dota2(radv) perf on a i7-6700k+RX480 system from
72fps->81fps.
