[PATCH 1/2] drm/xe/exec: move fence reservation

We currently assume that we can upfront know exactly how many fence
slots we will need at the start of the exec, however the TTM bo_validate
can itself consume numerous fence slots, and due to how the
dma_resv_reserve_fences() works it only ensures that at least that many
fence slots are available. With this it is quite possible that TTM
steals some of the fence slots and then when it comes time to do the vma
binding and final exec stage we are lacking enough fence slots, leading
to some nasty BUG_ON(). A simple fix is to reserve our own fences later,
after the validate stage.
