Deepak Nibade 0c46f8a5e1 gpu: nvgpu: support user fence updates ...

Add support for user fence updates i.e. increments added by user space
in pushbuffer directly

Add a submit IOCTL flag NVGPU_SUBMIT_GPFIFO_FLAGS_USER_FENCE_UPDATE to indicate
if User has added increments in pushbuffer
If yes, number_of_increment value is received in fence.value from User

If User is adding increments in the pushbuffer then we don't need to do any job
tracking in the kernel
So fail the submit if we evaluate need_job_tracking to true and
FLAGS_USER_FENCE_UPDATE is set
User is responsible for ensuring all pre-requisites for a fast submit and to
prevent kernel job tracking

Since user space adds increments in the pushbuffer, just handle the threshold
book keeping in kernel.
