Subject: dma-buf/sw_sync: force signal all unsignaled fences on dying timeline

From: Dominik Behr <[email protected]>

commit ea4d5a270b57fa8d4871f372ca9b97b7697fdfda upstream.

To avoid hanging userspace components that might have been waiting on the active fences of the destroyed timeline we need to signal with error all remaining fences on such timeline.

This restore the default behaviour of the Android sw_sync framework, which Android still relies on. It was broken on the dma fence conversion a few years ago and never fixed.

v2: Do not bother with cleanup do the list (Chris Wilson)
