drm/doc/rfc: Mark long running workload as complete.
No DRM scheduler changes required, drivers just return NULL in run_job
vfunc.
The rough consensus is that no helper or extra scaffolding is needed
around long-running jobs and no further changes to drm-scheduler.
At least for now. Other drivers that currently do long-running workloads
have no plat to use drm-scheduler. Besides, the current consensus is
that this solution of simply returning NULL to the run_job function should
work without extra code duplication or complication.
On top of that, this item was already a non-blocking one for upstreaming Xe,
so let's move that to the 'Completed' section and revisit the long-running
solution as a community after Xe is integrated in DRM.
