Description
Running `ctest --tests-regex Semaphore -j 20` causes many tests to segfault:
```
The following tests FAILED:
478 - VkLayerTest.ExternalTimelineSemaphore (SEGFAULT)
548 - VkLayerTest.QueueSubmitTimelineSemaphoreBadValue (SEGFAULT)
549 - VkLayerTest.QueueBindSparseTimelineSemaphoreBadValue (SEGFAULT)
551 - VkLayerTest.QueueSubmitBinarySemaphoreNotSignaled (SEGFAULT)
553 - VkLayerTest.InvalidExternalSemaphore (SEGFAULT)
557 - VkLayerTest.Sync2InvalidSignalSemaphoreValue (SEGFAULT)
558 - VkLayerTest.InvalidSemaphoreCounterType (SEGFAULT)
580 - VkLayerTest.InvalidVkSemaphoreTypeCreateInfoCore (SEGFAULT)
602 - VkLayerTest.QueueSubmitWaitingSameSemaphore (SEGFAULT)
1041 - VkLayerTest.SwapchainAcquireImageNoBinarySemaphore (SEGFAULT)
1042 - VkLayerTest.SwapchainAcquireImageNoBinarySemaphore2KHR (SEGFAULT)
1056 - VkLayerTest.SwapchainAcquireImageWithSignaledSemaphore (SEGFAULT)
1496 - VkPositiveLayerTest.LongSemaphoreChain (SEGFAULT)
```
These all crash because vkCreateDevice() returns VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. I suspect we're violating some sort of resource limit in this driver. Linux / RADV and Windows / NVidia cannot reproduce this problem.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing `ctest --tests-regex Semaphore -j 20` on Linux/NVidia and inspect the listed semaphore tests where `vkCreateDevice()` returns `VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED`. Compare resource usage and behavior with Linux/RADV and Windows/NVidia, then determine whether the failures are caused by a driver resource limit. Done means the semaphore tests no longer segfault in the affected environment, or the limitation is documented and handled safely.
