[PATCH 1/1] drm/syncobj: add sideband payload

Following earlier discussions in particular with James Jones at Nvidia, 
I think we established this patch/feature is not needed.

This feature was indented to fix a failing test on our implementation.
I've just submitted a MR to delete that test : 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/crucible/merge_requests/55
I think it is invalid.

We should be able to workaround the submission thread race condition 
issue by just resetting a binary semaphore to be signaled in 
vkQueueSubmit before submitting the workload, so that further waits 
happen on the right dma-fence.
This might be a bit more costly (more ioctls) than the feature in this 
patch, so I'm looking for your feedback on this.

Thanks a lot,

-Lionel
