We don't always have a convenient means to preallocate an array of
fences to use. Keeping a list of fences in addition to the array would
be easier to user in many circumstances.

Just means we need a

struct fence_collection_entry {
struct fence *fence;
struct list_head link;
};

int fence_collection_add(struct fence *_collection,
struct fence *fence)
{
struct fence_collection *collection =
to_fence_collection(_collection);
struct fence_collection_entry *entry;

entry = kmalloc(sizeof(*entry), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!entry)
return -ENOMEM;

entry->fence = fence_get(fence);
list_add_tail(&entry->link, &collection->fence_list);
atomic_inc(&collection->num_pending_fences);

return 0;
}

and a couple of list iterations as well as walking the arrays.

(This fence_collection_add() needs to be documented to only be valid
from the constructing thread before the fence is sealed for export/use.)
