drm/v3d: Replace spin_lock_irqsave() with spin_lock()

This commit replaces spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore() with
the scoped_guard() macro using plain spinlocks in v3d_overflow_mem_work()
and v3d_bin_job_run().

[Severity: High]
Does removing the IRQ-disabling protection here cement a broken locking design?

The commit message notes the hard IRQ handler doesn't take this lock, but
v3d_irq_signal_fence() modifies queue->active_job locklessly. Because of this
missing lock, an SMP use-after-free race already exists where the DRM
scheduler can free the job while v3d_overflow_mem_work() is dereferencing
bin_job->render.

By switching from spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock(), this exposes a
uniprocessor race where the IRQ can preempt the workqueue's critical section.
Furthermore, if someone fixes the SMP race by adding
spin_lock(&queue->queue_lock) to the IRQ handler, won't the system deadlock
when the IRQ interrupts this workqueue?

[Severity: Low]
Is it ok to mix goto-based error handling with scope-based cleanup helpers?

The kernel cleanup guidelines explicitly forbid mixing goto and scope-based
cleanup helpers in the same function because it creates confusing ownership
semantics.

While scoped_guard() is introduced here for lock management, the function
retains explicit goto statements like this one to reach the out label for
drm_gem_object_put().

[Severity: Low]
Does this also violate the cleanup guidelines against mixing goto and
scope-based cleanup?

Similar to v3d_overflow_mem_work(), this function introduces scoped_guard()
while still retaining the out_clean_job label that is reached via goto
statements earlier in the function.
