What ends up happening is the submit has reference to submit-queue,
which has reference to the ctx.. the submitqueue could be alive still
pending in-flight submits (in a later patch), but dead from the PoV of
userspace interface.
We aren't relying (or at least aren't in the end, and I *think* I
didn't miss anything in the middle) relying on ctx->submitqueues list
to clean anything up in the end, just track what is still a valid
submitqueue from userspace PoV
