Christian, I'm not sure I'm following you on the "embed the lock into the
fence without much problem" part. If I understand it correctly this should
be something like:

	fences = kmalloc_array(1, sizeof(*fences), GFP_KERNEL);
	for_each_fence(...) {

		// what spinlock should I use here?

		dma_fence_init(&fences[i], .. &lock ..);
		dma_fence_get(&fences[i]);
	}
	fence_array = dma_fence_array_create(1, fences, ....);
	sync_file_create(&fence_array->base);
