[Intel-xe] [PATCH v4 1/1] drm/xe: Use nanoseconds instead of jiffies in uapi for user fence

[Zbigniew Kempczyński]

Using jiffies as a timeout from userspace is weird even if
theoretically exists possiblity of acquiring jiffies via getconf.
Unfortunately this method is unreliable and the returned
value may vary from the one configured in the kernel config.

>From now on timeout is expressed in nanoseconds and its interpretation
depends on setting DRM_XE_UFENCE_WAIT_ABSTIME flag. Relative timeout
(flag is not set) means fence expire at now() + timeout. Absolute
timeout (flag is set) means that the fence expires at exact point
of time.
