The condition, comments and operation up to here is duplicated from 
i915_active_ref not shown in the diff.

More important question is on the relationship between i915_active_ref 
and __i915_active_ref. Latter actually calls this new 
__i915_active_set_fence which is kind of surprising considering the 
usual patterns.

Is there any duplication of the APIs ie. opportunity to consolidate? For 
instance should i915_active_ref be broken up into 
preallocate/lookup/install helpers too?

Another confusing end result is that we'd end up with both 
__i915_active_fence_set(active-fence, dma-fence) and
__i915_active_set_fence(active, active-fence, dma-fence).

I am not offering any solutions just raising oddities at this point. :)
