You forgot to document the fence_fd at the uAPI book. In particular,
it should be noticed there that a non-positive value means no fence.

(as userspace should be setting reserved2 to zero, I'm assuming
that we'll likely not accept 0 here).

You should likely also remove the description from reserved2 at
Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/buffer.rst.
