Konsta Hölttä 223d8522a1 gpu: nvgpu: clarify fence api assumptions
Adjust documentation and validity checks in the fence functions for
simplicity.

Now that the cde code is using user fences cleanly, the
do-nothing-on-null action can cause unintended behaviour in new code
using nvgpu_fence_get and nvgpu_fence_put. It does not make sense to
call these with a null fence, so delete the checks.

Extend the documentation in nvgpu_fence_extract_user() for the os fence
lifetime to give a reason for the dup call.

Make nvgpu_fence_from_semaphore() and nvgpu_fence_from_syncpt() return
void. These fill a previously allocated object; the only failure would
have been a null object, but that never happens and is not acceptable
behaviour for callers so delete these null checks and fix types.
