The kerneldoc comment on dma_fence_init() and dma_fence_init64() describe the legacy reason to pass an external lock as a need to prevent multiple fences "from signaling out of order". However, this wording is a bit misleading: a shared spinlock does not (and cannot) prevent the signaler from signaling out of order. Signaling order is the driver's responsibility regardless of whether the lock is shared or per-fence. Reword both comments to better describe the legacy use cases where a shared lock was needed.
