I'm not sure that Hillf's fix is sufficient. In particular in
drm_sched_increase_karma() I don't understand how the smp_load_acquire()
call prevents bad->s_fence becoming NULL immediately afterwards (but
admittedly the window is much smaller). But really this is just a
Panfrost bug (calling drm_sched_stop() twice on the same job).

The part of my change that I'd welcome feedback on is changing
cancel_delayed_work() to cancel_delayed_work_sync() in drm_sched_stop()
when called on different scheduler to the bad job. It's not clear to me
exactly what the semantics of the function should be, and I haven't
tested the effect of the change on drivers other than Panfrost.
