[PATCH 0/6] drm/v3d: General job locking improvements + race-condition fixes

This patch series was initially motivated by a race condition (exposed
in PATCH 4/6) where we lacked synchronization for `job->file` access.
This led to use-after-free issues when a file descriptor was closed
while a job was still running.

However, beyond fixing this specific race, the series introduces
broader improvements to active job management and locking. While PATCH
1/6, 2/6, and 5/6 are primarily code refactors, PATCH 3/6 brings a
significant change to the locking scheme. Previously, all queues shared
the same spinlock, which caused unnecessary contention during high GPU
usage across different queues. PATCH 3/6 allows queues to operate more
independently.

Finally, PATCH 6/6 addresses a similar race condition to PATCH 4/6, but
this time, on the per-file descriptor reset counter.

Best Regards,

      drm/v3d: Store a pointer to `struct v3d_file_priv` inside each job
      drm/v3d: Store the active job inside the queue's state
      drm/v3d: Replace a global spinlock with a per-queue spinlock
      drm/v3d: Address race-condition between per-fd GPU stats and fd release
      drm/v3d: Synchronous operations can't timeout
      drm/v3d: Protect per-fd reset counter against fd release
