Well that would mean that this is *really* buggy! How do you then end up 
in drm_sched_entity_kill()? From drm_sched_entity_destroy()?

drm_sched_entity_flush() should be called from the flush callback from 
the file_operations structure of panfrost. See amdgpu_flush() and 
amdgpu_ctx_mgr_entity_flush(). This makes sure that we wait for all 
entities of the process/file descriptor to be flushed out.

drm_sched_entity_fini() must be called before you free the memory the 
entity structure or otherwise we would run into an use after free.

Regards,
Christian.
