Add an usage for kernel submissions. Waiting for those are mandatory for
dynamic DMA-bufs.
As a precaution this patch also changes all occurrences where fences are
added as part of memory management in TTM, VMWGFX and i915 to use the
new value because it now becomes possible for drivers to ignore fences
with the WRITE usage.
v2: use "must" in documentation, fix whitespaces
v3: separate out some driver changes and better document why some
changes should still be part of this patch.

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.
