*fence is valid. Coccicheck reports this because fence is freed.
But use 'struct dma_fence *' can avoid this wrong report.

I also grep all code and find it's unusual to use 'typeof' in va_arg, 
only two files.

grep -R "va_arg("  . | grep 'typeof'
./drivers/dma-buf/st-dma-fence-unwrap.c:                fences[i] = 
va_arg(valist, typeof(*fences));
./drivers/dma-buf/st-dma-fence-unwrap.c: dma_fence_put(va_arg(valist, 
typeof(*fences)));
./lib/test_scanf.c:             typeof(*expect) got = *va_arg(ap, 
typeof(expect));              \

And other files all use declaration name directly.
So I send this patch makes code clearer and fix the wrong warning by the 
way.

Thanks,
