[PATCH] drm/sched: Don't disturb the entity when in RR-mode scheduling

[Luben Tuikov]

Don't call drm_sched_select_entity() in drm_sched_run_job_queue().  In fact,
rename __drm_sched_run_job_queue() to just drm_sched_run_job_queue(), and let
it do just that, schedule the work item for execution.

The problem is that drm_sched_run_job_queue() calls drm_sched_select_entity()
to determine if the scheduler has an entity ready in one of its run-queues,
and in the case of the Round-Robin (RR) scheduling, the function
drm_sched_rq_select_entity_rr() does just that, selects the _next_ entity
which is ready, sets up the run-queue and completion and returns that
entity. The FIFO scheduling algorithm is unaffected.

Now, since drm_sched_run_job_work() also calls drm_sched_select_entity(), then
in the case of RR scheduling, that would result in drm_sched_select_entity()
having been called twice, which may result in skipping a ready entity if more
than one entity is ready. This commit fixes this by eliminating the call to
drm_sched_select_entity() from drm_sched_run_job_queue(), and leaves it only
in drm_sched_run_job_work().

v2: Rebased on top of Tvrtko's renames series of patches. (Luben)
    Add fixes-tag. (Tvrtko)
