If a signal callback releases the sw_sync fence, that will trigger a
deadlock as the timeline_fence_release recurses onto the fence->lock
(used both for signaling and the the timeline tree).

If we always hold a reference for an unsignaled fence held by the
timeline, we no longer need to detach the fence from the timeline upon
release. This is only possible since commit ea4d5a270b57
("dma-buf/sw_sync: force signal all unsignaled fences on dying timeline")
where we introduced decoupling of the fences from the timeline upon release.
