First time we were here, it was just a plain test_bit(). Skipping a
patch, so had to start from scratch... (I blame glancing at the original
outcome and glossing over the test_bit vs test_and_set_bit.)

dma_fence_signal vs dma_fence_add_callback

Something like:

while (!timeout)
	f1 = mock_fence_create()
	push f1 to other thread
	pull f2 from other thread
	dma_fence_signal(f2);
	dma_fence_add_callback(f1)
	dma_fence_signal(f1);
	check cb

Can't see an obvious way to make the test_and_set_bit window larger.
