[PATCH 1/2] dma-buf/dma-fence: Add dma_fence_init_noref()

From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

Add a way to initialize a fence without touching the refcount.  This is
useful, for example, if the fence is embedded in a drm_sched_job.  In
this case the refcount will be initialized before the job is queued.
But the seqno of the hw_fence is not known until job_run().
