[PATCH][next] dma-buf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling()

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Currently, a NULL pointer dereference will happen in function
`dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling()` (at line 615), in case `chain`
is not allocated in `mock_chain()` and this function returns
`NULL` (at line 86). See below:

drivers/dma-buf/st-dma-fence-chain.c:
 86         chain = mock_chain(NULL, f, 1);
 87         if (!chain)
 88                 err = -ENOMEM;
 89
 90         dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling(chain);

drivers/dma-buf/dma-fence.c:
 611 void dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling(struct dma_fence *fence)
 612 {
 613         unsigned long flags;
 614
 615         spin_lock_irqsave(fence->lock, flags);
			       ^^^^^^^^^^^
				    |
			  NULL pointer reference
			  if fence == NULL

 616         __dma_fence_enable_signaling(fence);
 617         spin_unlock_irqrestore(fence->lock, flags);
 618 }

Fix this by adding a NULL check before dereferencing `fence` in
`dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling()`. This will prevent any other NULL
pointer dereference when the `fence` passed as an argument is `NULL`.
