This commit adds a document section in drm-uapi.rst about tracepoints,
and mark the events gpu_scheduler_trace.h as stable uAPI.
The goal is to explicitly state that tools can rely on the fields,
formats and semantics of these events.

+Trace events
+============
+
+See Documentation/trace/tracepoints.rst for information about using
+Linux Kernel Tracepoints.
+In the DRM subsystem, some events are considered stable uAPI to avoid
+breaking tools (e.g.: GPUVis, umr) relying on them. Stable means that fields
+cannot be removed, nor their formatting updated. Adding new fields is
+possible, under the normal uAPI requirements.

+ * ``drm_sched_job``, ``drm_run_job``, ``drm_sched_process_job``,
+ * and ``drm_sched_job_wait_dep`` are considered stable uAPI.
+ *
+ * Common trace events attributes:
+ *
+ * * ``id`` - this is &drm_sched_job->id. It uniquely idenfies a job
+ * inside a &struct drm_gpu_scheduler.
+ *
+ * * ``dev`` - the dev_name() of the device running the job.
+ *
+ * * ``ring`` - the hardware ring running the job. Together with ``dev`` it
+ * uniquely identifies where the job is going to be executed.
+ *
+ * * ``fence`` - the &dma_fence.context and the &dma_fence.seqno of
+ * &drm_sched_fence.finished
