Can't we just call drm_sched_cleanup_jobs right here, remove all the 
conditions in wait_event_interruptible (make it always true) and after 
drm_sched_cleanup_jobs is called test for all those conditions and 
return to sleep if they evaluate to false ? drm_sched_cleanup_jobs is 
called unconditionally inside wait_event_interruptible anyway... This is 
more of a question to Christian.
