rust: DmaFence: [RFC] Add Signaler

This commit introduces a FenceSignaler type that allows signaling an
associated DriverFence independently of the locked data structure it
resides in.

[Severity: High]
Does skipping the counter decrement here cause a resource leak leading to a
kernel panic?

When FenceSignaler::signal() signals the fence without decrementing
nr_of_unsignaled_fences, it creates an issue during teardown. If the
associated DriverFence is subsequently dropped, DriverFence::drop() will
observe that the fence is already signaled and skip its own decrement:

DriverFence::drop() {
    ...
    let signaled: bool = unsafe { 
bindings::dma_fence_test_signaled_flag(guard.as_raw()) };
    if !signaled {
    ...
}

As a result, the unsignaled counter permanently leaks 1 count per use of
FenceSignaler. When the FenceContext is eventually dropped, its non-zero
counter triggers panic!("Forgotten fences in FenceContext.").

Can this TODO be resolved before merging to prevent drivers from triggering a
denial of service on normal cleanup paths?

[Severity: Low]
Are small forwarding functions like this missing the #[inline] attribute?

According to the Rust subsystem coding guidelines, small functions or functions
forwarding to a C binding call in abstractions should be annotated with
#[inline] to avoid minor performance overhead across crate boundaries.

[Severity: Low]
Should this small constructor also have an #[inline] annotation?

Additionally, FenceContext::deref() is a trivial deref implementation in
this file missing the #[inline] attribute. Could these annotations be added?
