Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] drm/amdgpu: increment sched score on entity selection

For hw engines that can't load balance jobs, entities are
"statically" load balanced: on their first submit, they select
the best scheduler based on its score.
The score is made up of 2 parts:
* the job queue depth (how much jobs are executing/waiting)
* the number of entities assigned

The second part is only relevant for the static load balance:
it's a way to consider how many entities are attached to this
scheduler, knowing that if they ever submit jobs they will go
to this one.

For rings that can load balance jobs freely, idle entities
aren't a concern and shouldn't impact the scheduler's decisions.
