I think I just did this because I thought it's a clever way to get rid of the
need to deal with zero-sized jobs, which do not make much sense. In
drm_sched_job_init() passing a zero job size defaults to one, which I think is
reasonable. Doing the same thing here is more likely to hide a bug. However, the
same is probably true for 'zero means no update' though. Maybe we should just
WARN() in such a case.

Sure, that's an option as well. However, I'd probably prefer the new job size to
be the return value. Having to sanity check job->submission_credits afterwards
isn't that nice either.

IIRC, Luben is proposing something similar. Gonna change that.

Yes, the same is true for drm_sched_init() - that's something for a separate
patch though.
