For one, all other drivers work like that, and it's not great to be
inconsistent. And it allows that inconsistent/wrong pattern to continue.

Second I'm not even sure you can embed the hw fence, because there's this
job restarting going on. Which at least thus far allocated a new hw fence.
So this needs considerations.

the hw fence is a refcounted struct, and the drm_sched_job is a different
struct. And we didn't have a dri-devel discussion about whether it's
correct to conflate these two lifetimes, amdgpu folks simply hacked
something together.

Maybe? Like I've not been involved in these discussion ont he amd side at
all, I'm just noticing that we do have a now rather inconsistently used
inteface across drivers. Which is no good.
