Ah something that I didn't take into account, and indeed gives this a bit
more urgency than I realised, is that the timestamp is exposed to
userspace. As such we are feeding it garbage, at best.

The trivial option is just to clear it in dma_fence_init(). I still have
the slight preference for the extra complication here (for the reader) as
it should be quicker for the more common path of signaling the fence.
