CVE-2023-53228: drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: drop redundant sched job cleanup when cs is aborted

Once command submission failed due to userptr invalidation in amdgpucssubmit, legacy code will perform cleanup of scheduler job. However, it's not needed at all, as former commit has integrated job cleanup stuff into amdgpujobfree. Otherwise, because of double free, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in such scenario.
