vgem doesn't have the same delayed close as i915. For vgem, closing the
fd (i.e. on process exit) will first signal all fences and drop
references for that fd, so effectively all work will be completed. The
external references to the vgem.ko's object (via dma-buf) will only
exist if they were constructed by the test and if they were, e.g. i915,
they too should be will be flushed by igt in its exithandlers.

Other drivers may have similar bridges to cross ofc.
