Since scheduler is a shared component, please add dri-devel on all
scheduler patches.

[Why]
for bailing job, this commit will delete it from pending list thus the
bailing job will never have a chance to be resubmitted even in advance
tdr mode.

[How]
after embeded hw_fence into amdgpu_job is done, the race condition that
this commit tries to work around is completely solved.So revert this
commit.
This reverts commit 135517d3565b48f4def3b1b82008bc17eb5d1c90.
v2:
add dma_fence_get/put() around timedout_job to avoid concurrent delete
during processing timedout_job

While this is true for amdgpu, it has no meaning for other drivers for whom
we haven't
done the refactoring of embedding HW fence (parent) into the job structure.
In fact thinking
about it, unless you do the HW fence embedding for all the drivers using the
scheduler you cannot
revert this patch or you will just break them.
btw, why did you do that embedding? I do still have my patches with
dma_fence annotations floating around, but my idea at least was to fix
that issue with a mempool, not with embeddeding. What was the motivation
for embedding the wh fence?
-Daniel


The motivation was 2 fold, avoid memory allocation during jobs submissions
(HW fence allocation) because as Christian explained this leads to deadlock with mm code during evictions due to memory pressure (Christian can clarify if I messed this explanation). Second is to exactly revert this patch because while it solved the issue described in the patch it created another with drivers who baildc out early during TDR handling for various reason and the job would just leak because it was already removed form pending list.
