[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: return DRIVER_NAME for the fence driver name

[Matthew Auld]

The first tracepoint for a request is trace_dma_fence_init which is
called in the ctor before we have properly setup the request->engine. So
if it's a non-recycled request the rq->engine might be NULL, or some
garbage value, which leads to a crash.

Since we are not permitted to use kmem_cache_zalloc() here with
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, one approach is simply to return DRIVER_NAME. We
can then revisit this later if we decide to get rid of
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
