[RFC 08/17] drm/scheduler: use dma-fence annotations in main thread

If the scheduler rt thread gets stuck on a mutex that we're holding
while waiting for gpu workloads to complete, we have a problem.

Add dma-fence annotations so that lockdep can check this for us.

I've tried to quite carefully review this, and I think it's at the
right spot. But obviosly no expert on drm scheduler.
