[RFC PATCH 6/6] drm/nouveau: Remove hacky fence check

[Philipp Stanner]

nouveau_cli_work() contains a section where a dma_fence lock is manually
taken and immediately released afterwards. This was added in

	commit c8a5d5ea3ba6 ("nouveau: fix client work fence deletion race")

as a bugfix because the function dma_fence_is_signaled() could return
true while the fence was still signaling.

The fix was later modified in

	commit a80d12eafad1 ("drm/nouveau: Simplify nouveau_cli_work")

Luckily, the dma_fence backend now fully synchronizes
dma_fence_is_signaled() with the spinlock. Thus, the check in nouveau is
not necessary anymore.

Remove the manual lock-unlock section.
