gpu: nvgpu: create sync_fence only if needed

Currently, we create sync_fence (from nvhost_sync_create_fence())
for every submit
But not all submits request for a sync_fence.

Also, nvhost_sync_create_fence() API takes about 1/3rd of the total
submit path.

Hence to optimize, we can allocate sync_fence
only when user explicitly asks for it using
(NVGPU_SUBMIT_GPFIFO_FLAGS_FENCE_GET &&
NVGPU_SUBMIT_GPFIFO_FLAGS_SYNC_FENCE)

Also, in CDE path from gk20a_prepare_compressible_read(),
we reuse existing fence stored in "state" and that can
result into not returning sync_fence_fd when user asked
for it
Hence, force allocation of sync_fence when job submission
comes from CDE path
