Off-topic: I really need to take a good look at this requeueing thing. It's
a pain for both fences and request API, and it is only used in the cobalt driver,
although I know of another out-of-tree driver that uses it as well.

I wonder if I should just get rid of this state.

I'd rephrase this:

"it only makes sense for VIDIOC_QBUF."

It's not really related to the process.

Why not put this code in __fill_v4l2_buffer() and instead set b->fence_fd
in vb2_qbuf, since that's the only place that can return a valid out-fence.
