Hm, except that's not exactly a deadlock we were trying to fix here (as
in, not a situation where 2 threads try to acquire locks in different
orders), just a situation where the scheduler stops dequeuing jobs
because it ends up in an inconsistent state (which is caused by a
bad/lack-of synchronization between timeout handlers). The problem here
is that we have 3 schedulers (one per HW queue) but when a timeout
occurs on one of them, we need to reset them all, thus requiring some
synchronization between the different timeout works. Moving the reset
logic to a separate work simplifies the synchronization.

Okay, but it's not clear to me which part of the panfrost_reset()
function should be annotated. I mean, I probably call functions that
can signal fences, but I don't call dma_signal_fence() directly. Are
callers of the dma_sched_xxx() helpers expected to place such
annotations?
