Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/sched: Fix racy access to drm_sched_entity.dependency

The drm_sched_job_unschedulable trace point can access
entity->dependency after it was cleared by the callback
installed in drm_sched_entity_add_dependency_cb, causing:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
[...]
Workqueue: comp_1.1.0 drm_sched_run_job_work [gpu_sched]
RIP: 0010:trace_event_raw_event_drm_sched_job_unschedulable+0x70/0xd0 [gpu_sched]

To fix this we either need to keep a reference to the fence before
setting up the callbacks, or move the trace_drm_sched_job_unschedulable
calls into drm_sched_entity_add_dependency_cb where they can be
done earlier.

Fixes: 76d97c870f29 ("drm/sched: Trace dependencies for GPU jobs")
