Konsta Hölttä 52835c39ae gpu: nvgpu: do not skip completed syncpt prefences
A corner case has existed since ancient times for syncpoint-backed
prefences to not cause a gpu wait if the fence is found to be completed
in the submit path. This adds some unnecessary complexity, so don't
check for completion in software. Let the gpu "wait" for these
known-to-be-trivial waits too. Necessary priv cmdbuf space has been
allocated anyway.

Originally nvhost had 16-bit fences which would wrap around relatively
quickly, so waiting for an old fence could have looked like waiting for
a fence that will expire long in the future. With 32-bit thresholds,
this hasn't been the case for several Tegra generations anymore, and
nvhost doesn't ignore waits like this either.

The wait priv cmdbuf in submit path can still be missing even with a
prefence supplied because the Android sync framework supports sync fds
that contain zero fences inside; this can happen at least when merging
fences that have all been expired. In such conditions the wait cmdbuf
wouldn't even get allocated.

[this is squashed with commit 8b3b0cb12d118 (gpu: nvgpu: allow no wait
cmd with valid input fence) from
