drm/nouveau/fence:: fix warning directly dereferencing a rcu pointer

[ Upstream commit 5f35a624c1e30b5bae5023b3c256e94e0ad4f806 ]

Fix a sparse warning with this message
"warning:dereference of noderef expression". In this context it means we
are dereferencing a __rcu tagged pointer directly.

We should not be directly dereferencing a rcu pointer. To get a normal
(non __rcu tagged pointer) from a __rcu tagged pointer we are using the
function unrcu_pointer(...). The non __rcu tagged pointer then can be
dereferenced just like a normal pointer.

I tested with qemu with this command
qemu-system-x86_64 \
	-m 2G \
	-smp 2 \
	-kernel bzImage \
	-append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda earlyprintk=serial net.ifnames=0" \
	-drive file=bullseye.img,format=raw \
	-net user,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:10021-:22 \
	-net nic,model=e1000 \
	-enable-kvm \
	-nographic \
	-pidfile vm.pid \
	2>&1 | tee vm.log
with lockdep enabled.
