Well that is actually not correct. Schedulers are supposed to stay 
around until the hw they have been driving is no longer present.

E.g. the reference was scheduler_fence->hw_fence->driver->scheduler.

Your use case is now completely different to that and this won't work 
any more.

This here might just be the first case where that breaks.

Regards,
Christian.
