Not sure if your codebase is different but based on msm-next branch, 
when "if (fence != ring->hangcheck_fence)" is true, we now skip 
rescheduling the timer. I don't think that is what we want. There should 
be a hangcheck timer running as long as there is an active submit, 
unless we have scheduled a recover_work here.
