[2/2] drm/sched: warn about drm_sched_job_init()'s partial init

Commit Message

Philipp Stanner Aug. 6, 2024, 2:38 p.m. UTC

drm_sched_job_init()'s name suggests that after the function succeeded,
parameter "job" will be fully initialized. This is not the case; some
members are only later set, notably "job->sched" by drm_sched_job_arm().

Document that drm_sched_job_init() does not set all struct members.

Document that job->sched in particular is uninitialized before
drm_sched_job_arm().
