drm_sched_job_init()'s name suggests that after the function succeeded, parameter "job" will be fully initialized. This is not the case; some members are only later set, notably "job->sched" by drm_sched_job_arm(). Document that drm_sched_job_init() does not set all struct members. Document that job->sched in particular is uninitialized before drm_sched_job_arm().
