dma-buf: add enum dma_resv_usage v4
This change adds the dma_resv_usage enum and allows us to specify why a dma_resv object is queried for its containing fences. Additional to that a dma_resv_usage_rw() helper function is added to aid retrieving the fences for a read or write userspace submission. This is then deployed to the different query functions of the dma_resv object and all of their users. When the write paratermer was previously true we now use DMA_RESV_USAGE_WRITE and DMA_RESV_USAGE_READ otherwise. v2: add KERNEL/OTHER in separate patch v3: some kerneldoc suggestions by Daniel v4: some more kerneldoc suggestions by Daniel, fix missing cases lost in the rebase pointed out by Bas.
