commit a3f7c10a upstream.

Previously when we added a fence to a dma_resv object we always
assumed the the newer than all the existing fences.

With Jason's work to add an UAPI to explicit export/import that's not
necessary the case any more. So without this check we would allow
userspace to force the kernel into an use after free error.

Since the change is very small and defensive it's probably a good
idea to backport this to stable kernels as well just in case others
are using the dma_resv object in the same way.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
