It was my suspicion but I wasn't sure about it.

Exactly, that was my main concern - if we use this method we have to use 
it in a point in
suspend sequence when all the in kernel job submissions activity already 
suspended

Submissions to scheduler entities are using unbounded queue, the bounded 
part is when
you extract next job from entity to submit to HW ring and it rejects if 
submission limit reached (drm_sched_ready)

In general - It looks to me at least that what we what we want her is 
more of a drain operation then flush (i.e.
we first want to disable any further job submission to entity's queue 
and then flush all in flight ones). As example
for this i was looking at  flush_workqueue vs. drain_workqueue
