Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/nouveau: Add helper to check base fence

From: Philipp Stanner <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:24:19 +0200

Nouveau, unfortunately, checks whether a dma_fence is already siganled
at various different places with, at times, different methods. In
nouveau_fence_update() it generally signals all fences the hardware is
done with by evaluating the sequence number. That mechanism then has no
way to tell the caller nouveau_fence_done() whether a particular fence
is actually signaled, which is why the internal bits of the dma_fence
get checked.

This can be made more readable by providing a new wrapper, which can
then later be helpful to solve an unrelated bug.

Add nouveau_fence_base_is_signaled().
