So, it looks like this is (currently) unused, and everything is
instead using submit->queue->ctx

That said, changing this so the submit also holds a ref to the ctx
seems to fix the intermittent splat I can trigger by repeatedly
hanging the gpu.  Which (from the pile of additional tracepoints I've
added on top of this series) seems to be related to re-playing submits
after the userspace process has crashed and/or closed the device.

It seems like the reference the submit holds to the queue should keep
the ctx (and therefore address space) alive, but I need to dig through
that a bit more.
