[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Lock signaler timeline while navigating

[Chris Wilson]

As we need to take a walk back along the signaler timeline to find the
fence before upon which we want to wait, we need to lock that timeline
to prevent it being modified as we walk. Similarly, we also need to
acquire a reference to the earlier fence while it still exists!

Though we lack the correct locking today, we are saved by the
overarching struct_mutex -- but that protection is being removed.
