By signaling s_fence->finished of the canceled operation from the
removed device B we in fact cause memory corruption for the uncompleted
job still running on device A ? Because there is someone waiting to
read write from the imported buffer on device B and he only waits for
the s_fence->finished of device B we signaled
in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs ?
