Given everyone agreed on the profiling sysfs knob for Panfrost, I'm
tempted to make the profiling optional here as well, so we can save
space on the CS ring buffers when profiling is disabled. This means
adjusting the 'credits' parameter we pass to drm_sched_job_init()
accordingly, with one credit counting for an instruction (or a block of
16 instructions to keep things naturally cache-line aligned). You'll
also need to change the 'credit_limit' passed to drm_sched_init().
