Well freeing the memory was just an example. The BO could also move back
to VRAM because of the dropped reference.

Key point is that memory management only waits for the last added fence,
that is the design of the dma_resv object. How that happens is irrelevant.
Because of this we at least need to wait for all dependencies of the job
before signaling the fence, even if we cancel the job for some reason.
