[PATCH 2/2] drm/panthor: Fix sync-only jobs

A sync-only job is meant to provide a synchronization point on a
queue, so we can't return a NULL fence there, we have to add a signal
operation to the command stream which executes after all other
previously submitted jobs are done.

Fixes: de8548813824 ("drm/panthor: Add the scheduler logical block")
