Subject: [PATCH] drm/imagination: avoid deadlock on fence release

From: Brendan King <Brendan.King@...tec.com>

Do scheduler queue fence release processing on a workqueue, rather
than in the release function itself.

Fixes deadlock issues such as the following:

[  607.400437] ============================================
[  607.405755] WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
[  607.415500] --------------------------------------------
[  607.420817] weston:zfq0/24149 is trying to acquire lock:

               but task is already holding lock:

               other info that might help us debug this:
