To allow faster engine to engine synchronization, peel the layer of
dma-fence-chain to expose potential i915 fences so that the
i915-request code can emit HW semaphore wait/signal operations in the
ring which is faster than waking up the host to submit unblocked
workloads after interrupt notification.
v2: Also deal with chains where the last node is not a dma-fence-chain
