d3d12: Fix fence signal race when no command lists are submitted

Signaling a fence in Dawn without waiting can cause a race between Dawn
and Chromium over who signals the fence. Since D3D12 fences are allowed
to be rewound this can cause future waits to hang indefinitely if Dawn
loses the race and signals a lower value than what Chromium expects.

The signal without wait case happens when Dawn submits no command lists
e.g. when CopyExternalImageToTexture uses a zero-sized dimension. This
is the reason for the test failures in https://crrev.com/c/3700811 e.g.
https://ci.chromium.org/ui/p/chromium/builders/try/dawn-win10-x64-deps-rel/24617/overview

To fix the race, it's sufficient to wait before signaling if not already
waited which is what this CL does. This CL also makes the fence stay
alive until pending signals are done - this wasn't the root cause of the
hang described above, but it's still a good idea for robustness, and
also recommended based on discussion around past Chromium XR fence use.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation

Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress WebGPU standard. More precisely it implements webgpu.h that is a one-to-one mapping with the WebGPU IDL. Dawn is meant to be integrated as part of a larger system and is the underlying implementation of WebGPU in Chromium.

Dawn provides several WebGPU building blocks:

  • WebGPU C/C++ headers that applications and other building blocks use.
    • The webgpu.h version that Dawn implements.
    • A C++ wrapper for the webgpu.h.
  • A “native” implementation of WebGPU using platforms' GPU APIs:
    • D3D12 on Windows 10
    • Metal on macOS and iOS
    • Vulkan on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia
    • OpenGL as best effort where available
  • A client-server implementation of WebGPU for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
  • Tint is a compiler for the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL).
