[PATCH 4.4 187/342] drm/amdgpu: hold reference to fences in amdgpu_sa_bo_new (v2)

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolai Hähnle <redacted>

commit a8d81b36267366603771431747438d18f32ae2d5 upstream.

An arbitrary amount of time can pass between spin_unlock and
fence_wait_any_timeout, so we need to ensure that nobody frees the
fences from under us.

A stress test (rapidly starting and killing hundreds of glxgears
instances) ran into a deadlock in fence_wait_any_timeout after
about an hour, and this race condition appears to be a plausible
cause.

v2: agd: rebase on upstream
