That should work fine or at least doesn't add anything new which could 
go boom.

The dma_fence_array() can't contain other dma_fence_array or 
dma_fence_chain objects or it could end up in a recursion and corrupt 
the kernel stack.

That's a well known limitation for other code paths as well.

So Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> for this one.

Christian.
