[PATCH v6 5/6] staging/android: refactor SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan at collabora.co.uk>

Change SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO behaviour to avoid future API breaks and
optimize buffer

Now num_fences can be filled by the caller to inform how many fences it
wants to retrieve from the kernel. If the num_fences passed is greater
than zero info->sync_fence_info should point to a buffer with enough space
to fit all fences.

However if num_fences passed to the kernel is 0, the kernel will reply
with number of fences of the sync_file.

Sending first an ioctl with num_fences = 0 can optimize buffer allocation,
in a first call with num_fences = 0 userspace will receive the actual
number of fences in the num_fences filed.

Then it can allocate a buffer with the correct size on sync_fence_info and
call SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO again, but now with the actual value of num_fences
in the sync_file.

Also, info->sync_fence_info was converted to __u64 pointer to prevent
32bit compatibility issues.

An example userspace code for the later would be:

	struct sync_file_info *info;
	int err, size, num_fences;

	info = malloc(sizeof(*info));

	info.flags = 0;
	err = ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO, info);
	num_fences = info->num_fences;

	if (num_fences) {
		info.flags = 0;
		size = sizeof(struct sync_fence_info) * num_fences;
		info->num_fences = num_fences;
		info->sync_fence_info = (uint64_t) calloc(num_fences,
							  sizeof(struct sync_fence_info));

		err = ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO, info);
	}

v2: fix fence_info memory leak

v3: Comments from Emil Velikov
	- improve commit message
	- remove __u64 cast
	- remove check for output fields in file_info
	- clean up sync_fill_fence_info()

    Comments from Maarten Lankhorst
	- remove in.num_fences && !in.sync_fence_info check
	- remove info->len and use only num_fences to calculate size

    Comments from Dan Carpenter
	- fix info->sync_fence_info documentation
