[PATCH] accel/amdxdna: Fix deadlock between context destroy and job timeout

[Lizhi Hou]

Hardware context destroy function holds dev_lock while waiting for all jobs
to complete. The timeout job also needs to acquire dev_lock, this leads to
a deadlock.

Fix the issue by temporarily releasing dev_lock before waiting for all
jobs to finish, and reacquiring it afterward.

You could add some lockdep assertions for dev_lock to better track its 
state.

Best regards,

Thanks :)  Added lockdep_assert_held check and applied to drm-misc-next.
