nouveau_fence_signal() clears fence->channel before dropping its
reference. nouveau_fence_no_signaling(), however, removes an already
signaled fence from fctx->pending without clearing the pointer.
The fence can remain attached to a BO reservation object and be used
later in nouveau_fence_sync() after channel teardown has freed the
channel. This leaves a stale channel pointer that the sync path can
dereference.
A diagnostic build with concurrent short-lived Wayland GL clients
observed nouveau_fence_no_signaling() with a fence pointing to channel
C, nouveau_channel_del(C) returning, and then nouveau_fence_sync()
attempting to read C->cli. A no-fault read failed after teardown.
Clear the pointer in nouveau_fence_no_signaling() to match
nouveau_fence_signal(), so the sync path uses the fence wait fallback.
