The "Upper layer" here currently being the drm scheduler and "Driver 
callback" being an xe scheduler callback.

While opt-in annotating the drm scheduler would achieve the same result, 
I think this patch should be considered anyway, as I don't think we will 
miss any true lockdep violations as a result of it.
