It's not very clear to me how to best ensure that, with the drm_sched
software timeout and the irq happening potentially at the same time.
I think patch 4 in this series describes and covers the most common
case that this would be hit. So maybe now this patch could be dropped
in favour of just that one.
But since this was a bit hard to reproduce and I'm not sure the issue
is entirely covered by that, I just decided to keep this small change
as it prevented all the stack trace reproducers I was able to come up
with.
