dma-buf: inline spinlock for fence protection v5

Browse source

Implement per-fence spinlocks, allowing implementations to not give an
external spinlock to protect the fence internal state. Instead a spinlock
embedded into the fence structure itself is used in this case.

Shared spinlocks have the problem that implementations need to guarantee
that the lock lives at least as long all fences referencing them.

Using a per-fence spinlock allows completely decoupling spinlock producer
and consumer life times, simplifying the handling in most use cases.

v2: improve naming, coverage and function documentation
v3: fix one additional locking in the selftests
v4: separate out some changes to make the patch smaller,
    fix one amdgpu crash found by CI systems
v5: improve comments
