    We only set the timestamp before we mark the fence as signaled. It is
    done before to avoid observers having a window in which they may see the
    fence as complete but no timestamp. Having it does incur a potential for
    the timestamp to be written twice, and even for it to be corrupted if
    the u64 write is not atomic. Instead use a new bit to record the
    presence of the timestamp, and teach the readers to wait until it is set
    if the fence is complete. There still remains a race where the timestamp
    for the signaled fence may be shown before the fence is reported as
    signaled, but that's a pre-existing error.
