Two different fence objects.

The dma_fence_add_callback() is done on the hw fence we get in return of
submitting the job.

The dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling() here is done on the finished fence
we use to signal the completion externally.

Key point is the finished fence should be used by the frontend drivers
which uses the scheduler and not by the scheduler itself.
