Fence emission can flush the push buffer, which through flush_notify
unreferences recently emitted fence. If ref count is increased after
fence emission, unreference deletes the fence, which causes SIGSEGV.

nouveau_fence_next

This bug manifested as an assertion failure in nouveau_fence.c, because
SIGSEGV handler tried to shutdown the application and used messed up
fence.
This issue was reported by Maxim Levitsky.
Note: This is a candidate for the 7.11 branch.
