Ages ago Rob Clark noted,
"Currently with fence-array, we have a potential deadlock situation. If
we fence_add_callback() on an array-fence, the array-fence's lock is
acquired first, and in it's ->enable_signaling() callback, it will install
cbs on it's array-member fences, so the array-member's lock is acquired
second.
But in the signal path, the array-member's lock is acquired first, and
the array-fence's lock acquired second."
Rob proposed either extensive changes to dma-fence to unnest the
fence-array signaling, or to defer the signaling onto a workqueue. This
is a more refined version of the later, that should keep the latency
of the fence signaling to a minimum by using an irq-work, which is
executed asap.

Add a helper to check if all fences in a fence array are from a given
context. For convenience, the function can also handle being given a
non-array fence.
