Do you even need to introduce I915_FENCE_FLAG_COMPOSITE? If parallel 
submit is the only possible creator of array fences then possibly not. 
Probably even would result in less code which even keeps working in a 
hypothetical future. Otherwise you could add a debug bug on if array 
fence contains a fence without I915_FENCE_FLAG_COMPOSITE set.

Secondly, I'd also run the whole loop and not return on first busy or 
incompatible for simplicity.

And finally, with all above in place, I think you could have common 
function for the below (checking one fence) and call that both for a 
single fence and from an array loop above for less duplication. (Even 
duplicated BUILD_BUG_ON which makes no sense!)

End result would be a simpler patch like:

__busy_set_if_active_one(...)
{
    .. existing __busy_set_if_active ..
}

__busy_set_if_active(..)
{
   ...
   if (dma_fence_is_array(fence)) {
	...
	for (i = 0; i < array->num_fences; i++)
		flags |= __busy_set_if_active_one(...);
   } else {
	flags = __busy_set_if_active_one(...);
   }
