The first versions had used wait_queue, but iirc we had some issues with
the callbacks and stuff and that was the reasons for hand-rolling. Or
maybe it was the integration of the lockless fastpath for
dma_fence_is_signalled().

If there's something broken we should just fix it, not force everyone to
set a random flag. dma_fence work like special wait_queues, so if we
differ then we should go back to that.
