Yiqing raised a problem of negative fence refcount for resubmitted jobs
in amdgpu and suggested a workaround in [1]. I took  a look myself and discovered
some deeper problems both in amdgpu and scheduler code.

Yiqing helped with testing the new code and also drew a detailed refcount and flow
tracing diagram for parent (HW) fence life cycle and refcount under various
cases for the proposed patchset at [2].
