Well complete NAK.

This is clearly going against the idea of having jobs only depend on
fences and nothing else which is mandatory for correct memory management.

If the hw is busy with something you need to return the fence for this
from the prepare_job callback so that the scheduler can be notified when
the hw is available again.

Christian.
