drm/msm/sde: avoid spinlock recursion in sde fence
The sde fence driver signals the fence with spinlock
acquired because it wants to protect the linked list
containing all fence objects. The dma fence_array
driver always calls the fence_put once fence is signaled
in the caller context itself. This fence_put call may
be translated into fence_release if no other client
has registered for the current fence object. The release
call will again trigger the sde_fence_release and tries
to acquired the same spinlock to protect the list. This
change separates the "timeline + fence" lock and list lock
to avoid holding it during fence_signal call. Just refer
below callstack for recursion case.
