So this means you are doubling your timeout? AFAICS for the first time
you hit the timeout handler the cached ctca and ctra values will
probably always differ from the current values. Maybe this warrants a
mention in the commit message, as it's changing the behavior of the
scheduler timeout.

Also how easy is it for userspace to construct such an infinite loop in
the CL? Thinking about a rogue client DoSing the GPU while exploiting
this check in the timeout handler to stay under the radar...
