Export a new helper function `dma_fence_dedup_array()` that sorts
an array of dma_fence pointers by context, then deduplicates the array
by retaining only the most recent fence per context.
This utility is useful when merging or optimizing sets of fences where
redundant entries from the same context can be pruned. The operation is
performed in-place and releases references to dropped fences using
dma_fence_put().
v2: - Export this code from dma-fence-unwrap.c(by Christian).
v3: - To split this in a dma_buf patch and amd userq patch(by Sunil).
- No need to add a new function just re-use existing(by Christian).
v4: - Export dma_fence_dedub_array and use it(by Christian).

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 reStructuredText 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.
