[RFC v2 2/3] dma-buf/fence-array: add fence_array_teardown()

From: Gustavo Padovan
Date: Mon Jun 27 2016 - 15:29:57 EST


From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

As the array of fence callbacks held by an active struct fence_array
each has a reference to the struct fence_array, when the owner of the
fence_array is freed it must dispose of the callback references before
it can free the fence_array. This can not happen simply during
fence_release() because of the extra references and so we need a new
function to run before the final fence_put().
