Well exactly that's the point this can't happen :)

Otherwise we would crash because of using freed up memory much earlier 
in the command submission.

The best idea I have to track this down further is to add some 
trace_printk in ttm_bo_bulk_move_helper and amdgpu_bo_destroy and see 
why and when we are actually using a destroyed BO.
