I think I see the race. Let me make sure I understand.

Current flow:

1. guc_exec_queue_run_job enters
2. guc_exec_queue_run_job submits job to hardware
3. job finishes on hardware
4. irq handler for job completion fires, signals job->fence, does last
   put on job->fence freeing the memory
5. guc_exec_queue_run_job takes a ref job->fence and BOOM UAF

The extra ref between steps 1/2 dropped after 5 prevents this. Is that
right?

Assuming my understanding is correct:
