Uh, my bad. I was trying to backport panthor (and all its deps) to a 6.1
kernel, and the condition in drm_sched_get_cleanup_job() is different
there:

        if (job && (!job->s_fence->parent ||
                    dma_fence_is_signaled(job->s_fence->parent))) {
		// pick this job for cleanup
	}

Sorry for the noise.
