drm/sched: warn about drm_sched_job_init()'s partial init

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 drm_sched_job.sched by
drm_sched_job_arm().

Document that drm_sched_job_init() does not set all struct members.

Document the lifetime of drm_sched_job.sched.
