[PATCH] reservation: don't wait when timeout=0

[Chris Wilson]

> If we are testing if a reservation object's fences have been
> signaled with timeout=0 (non-blocking), we need to pass 0 for

One should ask if we should just fix the interface to stop returning
incorrect results (stop "correcting" a completion with 0 jiffies remaining
as 1). A timeout can be distinguished by -ETIME (or your pick of errno).
