[PATCH 1/8] dma-fence: Bypass signaling annotation from dma_fence_is_signaled

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

For dma_fence_is_signaled signaling critical path annotations are an
annoying cause of false positives when using dma_fence_is_signaled and
indirectly higher level helpers such as dma_resv_test_signaled etc.

Drop the critical path annotation since the "is signaled" API does not
guarantee to ever change the signaled status anyway.

We do that by adding a low level _dma_fence_signal helper and use it from
dma_fence_is_signaled.
