Allocate a new private stub fence in drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle,
instead of using a static stub fence.

When userspace creates a fence with DRM_SYNCOBJ_CREATE_SIGNALED or when
userspace signals a fence via DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_SIGNAL, the timestamp
obtained when the fence is exported and queried with SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO
should match when the fence's status was changed from the perspective of
userspace, which is during the respective ioctl.

When a static stub fence started being used in by these ioctls, this
behavior changed. Instead, the timestamp returned by SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO
became the first time anything used the static stub fence, which has no
meaning to userspace.

You can drop this. The spinlock is only used when the fence is signaled to avoid races between signaling and adding a callback.

And for this the global spinlock should be perfectly sufficient. Apart from that looks good to me.

Christian.
