With the information from the commit I would expect fence_info would be a true
pointer.
so if (sync_file_info->num_fences == 0) not copying fence_info, but set all
members including this one.
else for_all_fences() copy_to_user(fence_info struct)
Otherwise you still can't extend the struct without breaking the abi.
