[PATCH 3/3] drm: Add a client-cap to set scheduling mode

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add DRM_CLIENT_CAP_SCHED_MODE so that userspace can control the
scheduling mode for nonblocking atomic commits.  Userspace such as
android, which treats the display pipeline as realtime (SCHED_FIFO)
should set DRM_CLIENT_CAP_SCHED_FIFO to prevent userspace components
of the display pipeline (like surfaceflinger) from preempting atomic
commit_work.

This cap may only be set by the drm master, after setting the
DRM_CLIENT_CAP_ATOMIC cap.  The scheduling mode is returned to default
(SCHED_NORMAL) after master is dropped.
