[PATCH v2] drm/panfrost: Fix a race in the job timeout handling (again)

In our last attempt to fix races in the panfrost_job_timedout() path we
overlooked the case where a re-submitted job immediately triggers a
fault. This lead to a situation where we try to stop a scheduler that's
not resumed yet and lose the 'timedout' event without restarting the
timeout, thus blocking the whole queue.

Let's fix that by tracking timeouts occurring between the
drm_sched_resubmit_jobs() and drm_sched_start() calls.

v2:
- Fix another race (reported by Steven)
