So, sched->ops->run_job(), is a "job inflection point" from the point of view of
the DRM scheduler. After that call, DRM has relinquished control of the job to the
firmware/hardware.

Putting the job in the pending list, before submitting it to down to the firmware/hardware,
goes along with starting a timeout timer for the job. The timeout always includes
time for the firmware/hardware to get it prepped, as well as time for the actual
execution of the job (task). Thus, we want to do this:
	1. Put the job in pending list. "Pending list" means "pends in hardware".
	2. Start a timeout timer for the job.
	3. Start executing the job/task. This usually involves giving it to firmware/hardware,
	   i.e. ownership of the job/task changes to another domain. In our case this is accomplished
	   by calling sched->ops->run_job().
Perhaps move drm_sched_start_timeout() closer to sched->ops->run_job() from above and/or increase
the timeout value?
