Fixes a race condition reported here: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/issues/309#issuecomment-2238968609
The whole premise of lockless access to a single-producer-single-
consumer queue is that there is just a single producer and single
consumer. That means we can't call drm_sched_can_queue() (which is
about queueing more work to the hw, not to the spsc queue) from
anywhere other than the consumer (wq).
This call in the producer is just an optimization to avoid scheduling
the consuming worker if it cannot yet queue more work to the hw. It
is safe to drop this optimization to avoid the race condition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
