Allow for some users to surreptitiously insert lazy signal callbacks that
do not depend on enabling the signaling mechanism around every fence.
(The cost of interrupts is too darn high, to revive an old meme.)
This means that we may have a cb_list even if the signaling bit is not
enabled, so always notify the callbacks.

The cost is that dma_fence_signal() must always acquire the spinlock to
ensure that the cb_list is flushed.

If we now always grab the spinlock anyway I suggest to rather merge 
dma_fence_signal and dma_fence_signal_locked.
