1. set a few fences (both excl + shared) in a dma_resv
2. get them
3. check that we got them all
4. notice that the exlusive fence isn't actually in the array (because we
increment the index before storing, so the exclusive fence ended past the
array). For robustness the test should check that the fences are listed in
any order, not just the one the current implementation gives you.

I guess the actual crash happens when we're unlucky and overflow the
allocation, which is probably more rare. But KASAN should help catch that
too (run that in your CI if you don't do that yet, it's pretty
impressive).

Or am I totally misunderstanding what's going wrong here?
