blocking ops in drm_sched_cleanup_jobs()

Hi,

I hit the below splat randomly with panfrost. From what I can tell this
is a more general issue which would affect other drivers.

The problem is that drm_sched_main() calls drm_sched_cleanup_jobs() as
part of the condition of wait_event_interruptible:

> 		wait_event_interruptible(sched->wake_up_worker,
> 					 (drm_sched_cleanup_jobs(sched),
> 					 (!drm_sched_blocked(sched) &&
> 					  (entity = drm_sched_select_entity(sched))) ||
> 					 kthread_should_stop()));

When drm_sched_cleanup_jobs() is called *after* a wait (i.e. after
prepare_to_wait_event() has been called), then any might_sleep() will
moan loudly about it. This doesn't seem to happen often (I've only
triggered it once) because usually drm_sched_cleanup_jobs() either
doesn't sleep or does the sleeping during the first call that
wait_event_interruptible() makes (which is before the task state is set).

I don't really understand why drm_sched_cleanup_jobs() needs to be
called here, a simple change like below 'fixes' it. But I presume
there's some reason for the call being part of the
wait_event_interruptible condition. Can anyone shed light on this?

The code was introduced in commit 5918045c4ed4 ("drm/scheduler: rework job destruction")
