Because if you need it that means for your driver dma_fence_add_cb is
broken, which means a _lot_ of things don't work. Like dma_buf poll
(compositors have patches to start using that), and I think
drm/scheduler also becomes rather unhappy.

It essentially exists only for old drivers where ->enable_signalling
is unreliable and we paper over that with a retry loop in ->wait and
pray no one notices that it's too butchered. The proper fix is to have
a driver thread to guarantee that ->enable_signalling works reliable,
so you don't need a ->wait.

Can you type up a kerneldoc patch for dma_fence_ops->wait to hammer
this in please?
