[PATCH v4] drm/virtio: conditionally allocate virtio_gpu_fence

We don't want to create a fence for every command submission.  It's
only necessary when userspace provides a waitable token for submission.
This could be:

1) bo_handles, to be used with VIRTGPU_WAIT
2) out_fence_fd, to be used with dma_fence apis
3) a ring_idx provided with VIRTGPU_CONTEXT_PARAM_POLL_RINGS_MASK
   + DRM event API
4) syncobjs in the future

The use case for just submitting a command to the host, and expecting
no response.  For example, gfxstream has GFXSTREAM_CONTEXT_PING that
just wakes up the host side worker threads.  There's also
CROSS_DOMAIN_CMD_SEND which just sends data to the Wayland server.

This prevents the need to signal the automatically created
virtio_gpu_fence.

In addition, VIRTGPU_EXECBUF_RING_IDX is checked when creating a
DRM event object.  VIRTGPU_CONTEXT_PARAM_POLL_RINGS_MASK is
already defined in terms of per-context rings.  It was theoretically
possible to create a DRM event on the global timeline (ring_idx == 0),
if the context enabled DRM event polling.  However, that wouldn't
work and userspace (Sommelier).  Explicitly disallow it for
clarity.
