At a glance, we have a handful of no-op as well as some functional
changes - let's split those up in separate patches.

The dma_fence_unwrap_for_each() change should be a separate patch,
highlighting why we want it.

We have reshuffled the order around in_fence waiting, out_fence install,
handles, cmdbuf, drm events, etc. Can we get that split up a bit, with
some comments.

If it were me, I would keep the wait_in_fence early and inline
virtio_gpu_init_submit (the nesting/abstraction seems a bit much). This
means one can omit the virtio_gpu_submit::exbuf all together.
