[PATCH v9 3/3] staging/android: refactor SYNC IOCTLs

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

Change SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO (former SYNC_IOC_FENCE_INFO) behaviour to avoid
future API breaks and optimize buffer allocation.

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.

info->sync_fence_info was converted to __u64 pointer to prevent 32bit
compatibility issues. And a flags member was added.

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);
	}

Finally the IOCTLs numbers were changed to avoid any potential old
userspace running the old API to get weird errors. Changing the opcodes
will make them fail right away. This is just a precaution, there no
upstream users of these interfaces yet and the only user is Android, but
we don't expect anyone trying to run android userspace and all it
dependencies on top of upstream kernels.

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
