The documentation for drm_sched_backend_ops.run_job() mentions a certain function called drm_sched_job_recovery(). This function does not exist. What's actually meant is drm_sched_resubmit_jobs(), which is by now also deprecated. Remove the mention of the removed function. Discourage the behavior of drm_sched_backend_ops.run_job() being called multiple times for the same job.
