[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 10/11] dma-buf: Use seqlock to close RCU race in test_signaled_single

With the seqlock now extended to cover the lookup of the fence and its
testing, we can perform that testing solely under the seqlock guard and
avoid the effective locking and serialisation of acquiring a reference to
the request.  As the fence is RCU protected we know it cannot disappear
as we test it, the same guarantee that made it safe to acquire the
reference previously.  The seqlock tests whether the fence was replaced
as we are testing it telling us whether or not we can trust the result
(if not, we just repeat the test until stable).
