[PATCH] drm/scheduler: Fix UAF in drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name

A signaled scheduler fence can outlive its scheduler, since fences are
independently reference counted. Therefore, we can't reference the
scheduler in the get_timeline_name() implementation.

Fixes oopses on `cat /sys/kernel/debug/dma_buf/bufinfo` when shared
dma-bufs reference fences from GPU schedulers that no longer exist.
