mainlining shenanigans
2feeb52859
The conversion to ww mutexes failed to address the fence code which already returns -EDEADLK when we run out of fences. Ww mutexes on the other hand treat -EDEADLK as an internal errno value indicating a need to restart the operation due to a deadlock. So now when the fence code returns -EDEADLK the higher level code erroneously restarts everything instead of returning the error to userspace as is expected. To remedy this let's switch the fence code to use a different errno value for this. -ENOBUFS seems like a semi-reasonable unique choice. Apart from igt the only user of this I could find is sna, and even there all we do is dump the current fence registers from debugfs into the X server log. So no user visible functionality is affected. If we really cared about preserving this we could of course convert back to -EDEADLK higher up, but doesn't seem like that's worth the hassle here. Not quite sure which commit specifically broke this, but I'll just attribute it to the general gem ww mutex work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
