Dear zheng,

The mtk_jpeg_multicore_dec_device_run function is used for multi-hw
jpeg decoding. Instead of scheduling mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work,
mtk_jpegdec_worker is scheduled in this function.

The mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run function is used for single hw jpeg
decoding, which schedules mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work.

A driver is either a single hw driver or a multi-hw driver and cannot
represent both at the same time. 
mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work and mtk_jpegdec_worker cannot be scheduled at
the same time. 
So mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work calls v4l2_m2m_job_finish would not cause
competition between the mtk_jpegdec_worker and v4l2_m2m_cancel_job.

Regards,
Kyrie.
