If there are pending jobs, ideally we want to call into the driver,
so that it can release resources it may be holding for those.
The idea behind "pending" is that they are pending in the hardware
and we don't know their state until signalled/the callback called.
(Or unless the device is reset and we get a notification of that fact.)

While this statement is true on its own, it kind of contradicts
the premise of the first paragraph.

I'd imagine it's better to rebase this on top of drm-misc-next where
drm_sched_fence_finished() takes one more parameter--the error.

Conceptually I don't mind this patch--I see what it is trying to achieve,
but technically, we want the driver to detect GPU removal and return shared
resources back, such as "jobs", which DRM is also aware of.
In the case where we're initiating the tear, we should notify the driver that
we're about to forget jobs (resources), so that it knows to return them back
or that it shouldn't notify us for them (since we've notified we're forgetting them.)
(Note also that in this latter case, traditionally, the device would be reset,
so that we can guarantee that it has forgotten all shared resources which
we are to tear up. This is somewhat more complicated with GPUs, thus the method
pointed out above.)
