drm_syncobj_fence_add_wait() is only called when the previous try of 
finding the fence wasn't successfully.

If we want to check drivers for stupid behavior for the uncommon wait 
before signal case we need this much earlier.

But I'm going to double check if drm_syncobj_fence_add_wait() isn't used 
elsewhere as well.

Good point. Going to add that as well.

Thanks,
