amdkfd: use schedule() in sync_with_hw

amdkfd uses cpu_relax() in its sync_with_hw() function. Because cpu_relax() is
defined as 'REP; NOP' on x86_64, it will block the CPU from servicing
IOMMU PPR requests.

This may cause a deadlock, because sync_with_hw() won't be completed
until the PPR request has been served.

Therefore, we need to use schedule() instead of cpu_relax() as it is the
minimum requirement to allow other threads to execute.
