If I understand correctly, drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() is supposed
to wait on all the external dependencies (those added to
drm_sched_job::dependencies) before signaling the job finished fence.
This is done this way to prevent jobs depending on these canceled jobs
from considering the resources they want to access as ready, when
they're actually still used by other components, thus leading to
potential data corruptions.
The problem is, the kill_jobs logic is omitting the last fence popped
from the dependencies array that was waited upon before
drm_sched_entity_kill() was called (drm_sched_entity::dependency field),
so we're basically waiting for all dependencies except one.
This is an attempt at fixing that, but also an opportunity to make sure
I understood the drm_sched_entity_kill(), because I'm not 100% sure if
skipping this currently popped dependency was intentional or not. I can't
see a good reason why we'd want to skip that one, but I might be missing
something.

Stumbled across this issue while working on native dependency support
with Donald (which will be posted soon). Flagged as RFC, because I'm
not sure this is legit, and also not sure we want to fix it this way.
I tried re-using drm_sched_entity::dependency, but it's a bit of a mess
because of the asynchronousity of the wait, and the fact we use
drm_sched_entity::dependency to know if we have a clear_dep()
callback registered, so we can easily reset it without removing the
callback.
