If the creation process fail, or the sync_file needs to be released by any
other reason fput(sync_file->file) should be used.
Receiving Sync Files from Userspace
-----------------------------------
When userspace needs to send an in-fence to the driver it passes file descriptor
of the Sync File to the kernel. The kernel can then retrieve the fences
from it.
Interface:
struct fence *sync_file_get_fence(int fd);
The returned reference is owned by the caller and must be disposed of
afterwards using fence_put(). In case of error, a NULL is returned instead.
References:

[2] All interfaces mentioned above defined in include/linux/sync_file.h
