It's been a while, but IIRC, we used to have a ring->ready field in
the driver which at some point got migrated out of the driver into the
GPU scheduler and the driver side code never got cleaned up.  I think
we should probably just drop the driver messing with that field and
leave it up to the drm scheduler.
