NAK, I'm wondering how often I have to reject that change. We should probably add a comment here.
Even with a zero timeout we still need to enable signaling, otherwise some fence will never signal if userspace just polls on them.
If a caller is only interested in the fence status without enabling the signaling it should call dma_fence_is_signaled() instead.
Can we not move the return 0 (with spin unlock) down after we enabling signalling, but before we enter the schedule_timeout(1)?
