[PATCH] drm/sched: Document drm_sched_job_arm()'s effect on fences

[Philipp Stanner <pstanner@redhat.com>]

The GPU Scheduler's job initialization is split into two steps,
drm_sched_job_init() and drm_sched_job_arm(). One reason for this is
that actually arming a job results in the job's fences getting
initialized (armed).

Currently, the documentation does not explicitly state what
drm_sched_job_arm() does in this regard and which rules the API-User has
to follow once the function has been called.

Add a section to drm_sched_job_arm()'s docstring which details the
function's consequences regarding the job's fences.
