        dma-buf/fence: add fence_wait_any_timeout function v2
    
    there was a restriction added that this only works if the dma-fence
    uses the dma_fence_default_wait hook. Which works for amdgpu, which is
    the only caller. Well, until you share some buffers with e.g. i915,
    then you get an -EINVAL.
    
    But there's really no reason for this, because all drivers must
    support callbacks. The special ->wait hook is only as an optimization;
    if the driver needs to create a worker thread for an active callback,
    then it can avoid to do that if it knows that there's a process
    context available already. So ->wait is just an optimization, just
    using the logic in dma_fence_default_wait() should work for all
    drivers.
    
    Let's remove this restriction.
