The delayed work is not just for failing irq's, it's also the handler that's used to detect lockups, which is why I trigger after processing fences, and reset the timer after processing.

Specifically what happened was this scenario:

- lock up occurs
- write lock taken by gpu_reset
- delayed work runs, tries to acquire read lock, blocks
- gpu_reset tries to cancel delayed work synchronously
- has to wait for delayed work to finish -> deadlock
