drm/amdkfd: Fix lock dependency warning with srcu

======================================================

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

6.5.0-kfd-yangp #2289 Not tainted

------------------------------------------------------

kworker/0:2/996 is trying to acquire lock:

(srcu){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: __synchronize_srcu+0x5/0x1a0

but task is already holding lock:

((work_completion)(&svms->deferred_list_work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at:

process_one_work+0x211/0x560

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
