Good point. But I think the memory barrier inserted by 
wake_up_all(&sched->job_scheduled); should be sufficient.

If I see this correctly we have the entity->rq_lock mainly to protect 
concurrent changes of entity->rq.

But when two CPUs both set entity->stopped to true at the same time we 
don't really care about it as long drm_sched_entity_is_idle() sees it.

Christian.
