[PATCH] drm/sched: Fix UB pointer dereference

In drm_sched_job_init(), commit 56e449603f0a ("drm/sched: Convert the
GPU scheduler to variable number of run-queues") implemented a call to
drm_err(), which uses the job's scheduler pointer as a parameter.
job->sched, however, is not yet valid as it gets set by
drm_sched_job_arm(), which is always called after drm_sched_job_init().

Since the scheduler code has no control over how the API-User has
allocated or set 'job', the pointer's dereference is undefined behavior.

Fix the UB by replacing drm_err() with pr_err().
