[PATCH 2/5] drm/doc/rfc: Mark drm_scheduler as completed

Current drm-xe-next doesn't have any drm/scheduler patch that is not
already accepted in drm-misc-next. This completed this goal with
the consensus of how the drm/scheduler fits to the fw scheduling and
the relationship between drm_gpu_scheduler and drm_sched_entity.

-Xe primarily uses Firmware based scheduling (GuC FW). However, it will use
-drm_scheduler as the scheduler ‘frontend’ for userspace submission in order to

-Deeper changes to drm_scheduler should *not* be required to get Xe accepted, but

-could also benefit from this work, for coupling FW based/assisted submission such
-as the ARM’s new Mali GPU driver, and others.
-
-As a key measurable result, the patch series introducing Xe itself shall not
