In this case multiple.. but I think it could also happen with a single
thread (provided it didn't stall on a fence, directly or indirectly,
from an earlier submit), because of how resume and actual job
submission happens from scheduler kthread.

I think the locking is more or less ok, although lockdep is unhappy
about one thing[1] which is I think a false warning (ie. not
recognizing that we'd already successfully acquired the obj lock via
trylock). We can already reclaim idle bo's in this path. But the
problem with a bunch of submits queued up in the scheduler, is that
they are already considered pinned and active. So at some point we
need to sleep (hopefully interruptabley) until they are no longer
active, ie. to throttle userspace trying to shove in more submits
until some of the enqueued ones have a chance to run and complete.
