Subject: [PATCH v3 15/23] amdkfd: Add module parameter of scheduling policy

From: Ben Goz <ben.goz@....com>

This patch adds a new parameter to the amdkfd driver. This parameter enables
the user to select the scheduling policy of the CP. The choices are:

* CP Scheduling with support for over-subscription
* CP Scheduling without support for over-subscription
* Without CP Scheduling

Note that the third option (Without CP scheduling) is only for debug purposes
and bringup of new H/W. As such, it is _not_ guaranteed to work at all times on
all H/W versions.

v3: fix description
v3: change permissions to read_only
v3: verify value
v3: add documentation
