The current error path uses cs_extract to mark exactly the offending
job faulty.  Innocent in-flight jobs do not seem to be affected.

I looked into emitting LOAD/STORE after SYNC_ADD64 to copy the error
to panthor_job_status.  Other than the extra instrs and storage,
because group_sync_upd_work can be called before LOAD/STORE, it will
need to check both panthor_job_status and panthor_syncobj_64b.  That
will be a bit ugly as well.
