[PATCH 1/2] dma-fence: allow signaling drivers to set fence timestamp

[Veera Sundaram Sankaran]

Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise timestamp of
certain events based on which the fences are triggered. This allows it
to set accurate timestamp factoring out any software and IRQ latencies.
Move the timestamp parameter out of union in dma_fence struct to allow
signaling drivers to set it. If the parameter is not set, ktime_get is
used to set the current time to fence timestamp during dma_fence_signal.
