Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] drm/sched: warn about drm_sched_job_init()'s partial init

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().

Signed-off-by: Philipp Stanner <pstanner@...hat.com>

Changes in v2:
  - Change grammar in the new comments a bit.
