From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

Create sync_file->fence to abstract the type of fence we are using for
each sync_file. If only one fence is present we use a normal struct fence
but if there is more fences to be added to the sync_file a fence_array
is created.

This change cleans up sync_file a bit. We don't need to have sync_file_cb
array anymore. Instead, as we always have  one fence, only one fence
callback is registered per sync_file.

v4: fixes checkpatch warnings

v4: Comments from Chris Wilson
	- use sizeof(*fence) to reallocate array
	- fix typo in comments
	- protect num_fences sum against overflows
	- use array->base instead of casting the to struct fence

v3: Comments from Chris Wilson and Christian König
	- struct sync_file lost status member in favor of fence_is_signaled()
	- drop use of fence_array_teardown()
	- use sizeof(*fence) to allocate only an array on fence pointers

v2: Comments from Chris Wilson and Christian König
	- Not using fence_ops anymore
	- fence_is_array() was created to differentiate fence from fence_array
	- fence_array_teardown() is now exported and used under fence_is_array()
	- struct sync_file lost num_fences member

Since this is a simple change in sync_debug,c, may I request for your
Ack so I could take it along with the other dma-buf patches?

Missed the fact that you weren't CCed; for this simple update to
sync_debug,c, may I request for your Ack so I can take it with dam-buf

Gentle reminder please: since it's a small change, if you could Ack
it, I'd be happy to take it along with the dma-buf patches and queue
it up.

Ugh, sorry, vacation and travel and merge window hasn't been good to me
this cycle...

This is fine with me, please take it through your tree if you want to,
and again, sorry for the delay in responding.  Usually, for staging
bits, if you want/need to merge something due to an api change, no need
to wait for me, I can handle any merge conflicts / issues that might
come up after the fact.
