[PATCH] drm/sched: fix the duplicated TMO message for one IB

Hi Monk,

the timeout handler might only kill waves until we see some progress 
again and then continue.

E.g. we don't necessary kill the whole job, but maybe just one 
drawing/computing operations. Or the same job is submitted another time.

As long as there is a job running on the hardware there should also be a 
timer running.

Not only our driver is relying on that but also the ARM drivers. See the 
history of that change.

When we don't want the timeout to fire again for this job we should 
probably remove the job from the ring mirror list and destroy it.

Christian.
