[PATCH RFC 2/3] media: hantro: attach dma_resv release fence at buf_queue

Opt the hantro driver into the new vb2 release-fence helper.

When userspace QBUFs a buffer to hantro, the buffer is added to the
driver's m2m queue via v4l2_m2m_buf_queue. We additionally call
vb2_buffer_attach_release_fence() so each plane's dmabuf->resv
gets a real producer fence attached. The fence is signalled by
vb2_buffer_done when hantro completes the decode (via
v4l2_m2m_buf_done_and_job_finish in hantro_drv.c, which converges
on vb2_buffer_done).

Wayland compositors (and any other userspace) that import hantro
CAPTURE buffers and wait on the dmabuf's implicit-sync fence now
wait on a real fence representing the producer's actual completion,
not a stub. Validated end-to-end on PineTab2 (RK3566 / Mali-G52 /
mainline 6.19 with this series backported) playing 1080p30 H.264 in
chromium under stock KDE Plasma 6.6.4 Wayland: KWin's
Transaction::watchDmaBuf wait completes correctly the moment
hantro's IRQ fires, instead of falling back to a stub-resolved
poll.
