Konsta Hölttä e6c0d84683 gpu: nvgpu: allocate fences in job structs ...

As the submit job metadata has been simplified, the fence pool for job
tracking fences is now just complex code for very simple purposes, so
delete it. It's enough to hold the fence memory in the job struct itself
instead of having separately allocated objects with different lifetimes.

Each channel is using preallocated job arrays based on the prespecified
inflight job count. The fences are used for tracking job completion, and
a new job cannot be submitted before a previous wait has completed.
This means that even with a ringbuffer with space for only one job, the
previous job memory cannot get reclaimed by a new submit because the
submits are ordered.
