The entity->last_scheduled field has always been set and read with special RCU functions in addition to memory barriers. There is no obvious reason for that, since the entity lock is available and taken at all places that evaluate the last_scheduled field. The only exception is drm_sched_entity_error(), which is not performance critical in any way.
Improve robustness, readability and maintainability by replacing RCU and barriers with the lock.
As a preparational step, while at it, also guard spsc_queue_pop() with the lock, since spsc_queue is deprecated and supposed to be replaced with a locked list.
