[0/5] DRM scheduler kunit tests

Message

There has repeatedly been quite a bit of apprehension when any change to the DRM
scheduler is proposed, with two main reasons being code base is considered
fragile, not well understood and not very well documented, and secondly the lack
of systematic testing outside the vendor specific tests suites and/or test
farms.

This series is an attempt to dislodge this status quo by adding some unit tests
using the kunit framework.

General approach is that there is a mock "hardware" backend which can be
controlled from tests, which in turn allows exercising various scheduler code
paths.

Only some simple basic tests get added in the series and hopefully it is easy to
understand what tests are doing.

An obligatory "screenshot" for reference:
