I think so, based on [1] if the ufence is a mapped BO on TGL
get_user_pages_fast doesn't work and !use_page path is used. Hence I add
malloc ufence section in [1].

Got on on the put_user(), seems to work.

A little unclear on mb() usage.

Would it be?
mb()
put_user()

And then in xe_wait_user_fence.c:do_compare?
mb()
copy_from_user
