dma-buf/sync_file: Add SET_DEADLINE ioctl

The initial purpose is for igt tests, but this would also be useful for
compositors that wait until close to vblank deadline to make decisions
about which frame to show.

The igt tests can be found at:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/robclark/igt-gpu-tools/-/commits/fence-deadline

v2: Clarify the timebase, add link to igt tests
v3: Use u64 value in ns to express deadline.
v4: More doc

- * To this end, deadline hint(s) can be set on a &dma_fence via &dma_fence_set_deadline.
+ * To this end, deadline hint(s) can be set on a &dma_fence via &dma_fence_set_deadline
+ * (or indirectly via userspace facing ioctls like &sync_set_deadline).
  * The deadline hint provides a way for the waiting driver, or userspace, to
  * convey an appropriate sense of urgency to the signaling driver.
