When a timeout of zero is specified, the caller is only interested in the fence status.
In the current implementation, dma_fence_default_wait will always call schedule_timeout() at least once for an unsignaled fence. This adds a significant overhead to a fence status query.
Avoid this overhead by returning early if a zero timeout is specified.

I don't see this patch in -rc2, where did it end up going?

Queued for 4.13. Makes imo sense since it's just a performance improvement, not a clear bugfix. But it's in your drm-next, so if you want to fast-track you can cherry-pick it over:
