Not sure if this is correct. In drm_sched_job_begin() we add the job to the "pending_list"
(meaning it is pending execution in the hardware) and we also start a timeout timer. Both
of those should be started before the job is given to the hardware.

If the timeout is set to too small a value, then that should probably be fixed instead.
