Only doubt is job being destroyed here. I think you were saying that 
guc_exec_queue_free_job(drm_job) can potentially happen before run_job() 
completes. But if that's the case can't the refcount reach zero here, 
and then caller of run_job() goes down in flames, since the drm_job is 
no longer a valid pointer, assuming the put() here frees the memory for it?
