aie2_sched_job_free() accesses job->drv_cmd for tracing purposes. However,
job->drv_cmd is owned by the caller and may already have been freed when
the job free callback runs, leading to a potential use-after-free.

Remove the job->drv_cmd access from aie2_sched_job_free().

Could this still be a race with dov->drv_cmd being valid when the first part of the expression is evaluated (job->drv_cmd) but invalid when job->drv_cmd->opcode is accessed?

if (!job->job_done)
up(&hwctx->priv->job_sem);
