[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 04/11] dma-buf: warn about dma_fence_array container rules v2

[Christian König]

It's not allowed to nest another dma_fence container into a dma_fence_array
or otherwise we can run into recursion.

Warn about that when we create a dma_fence_array.

v2: fix comment style and typo in the warning pointed out by Thomas
