Commit 527ba26e50ec ("drm/radeon: delete radeon_fence_process in
is_signaled, no deadlock") removed the hardware polling from
radeon_fence_is_signaled() to fix a self-deadlock caused by
wake_up_all(&rdev->fence_queue) being called with the fence queue
lock held.

However, removing the polling entirely causes significant performance
regression (e.g. glxgears FPS drop) because the fence signaled check
becomes purely passive — it only reads the cached last_seq without
probing the GPU, so completed GPU work is not detected in time,
causing unnecessary CPU stalls in sync-heavy workloads.

Fix this by calling radeon_fence_activity() directly instead of
radeon_fence_process(). radeon_fence_activity() reads the hardware
fence counter and updates last_seq via atomic ops without calling
wake_up_all(), thus avoiding the deadlock while restoring timely
fence detection.
