And actually testing it I of course discover it doesn't quite work. We
do need the cancel_delayed_work_sync() in the DRM scheduler (when
stopping a different scheduler) and we need to avoid holding the
reset_lock during the drm_sched_stop() call to prevent deadlocking with
another thread handling a timeout.

Can you give the following patch a spin? I don't have a great
reproduction case, so it would be good to get some confidence it fixes
the problem.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/panfrost: Handle resetting on timeout better

Panfrost uses multiple schedulers (one for each slot, so 2 in reality),
and on a timeout has to stop all the schedulers to safely perform a
reset. However more than one scheduler can trigger a timeout at the same
time. This race condition results in jobs being freed while they are
still in use.

Modify drm_sched_stop() to call cancel_delayed_work_sync() when stopping
a different scheduler to the one belonging to the passed in job.
panfrost_job_timedout() is also modified to only allow one thread at a
time to handle the reset. Any subsequent threads simply return assuming
that the first thread will handle the situation.
