Okay. However, when using pr_err() we're losing "[drm] *ERROR* " prefix and we scan for that
in the logs to quickly find the cause of the error.

Perhaps we can define pr_fmt() and also include "*ERROR*" so that we can get the desired result
as the attached patch shows?

Subject: [PATCH] drm/sched: fix potential page fault in drm_sched_job_init()

Commit 56e449603f0a ("drm/sched: Convert the GPU scheduler to variable
number of run-queues") introduces drm_err() in drm_sched_job_init(), in
order to indicate that the given entity has no runq, however at this
time job->sched is not yet set, likely to be NULL initialized, and hence
shouldn't be used.

Replace the corresponding drm_err() call with pr_err() to avoid a
potential page fault.

While at it, extend the documentation of drm_sched_job_init() to
indicate that job->sched is not a valid pointer until
drm_sched_job_arm() has been called.

v2: Add pr_fmt to drm_printk.h. Add "*ERROR*" to this pr_err() message. (Luben)
