[PATCH v8 08/10] drm/doc: document some tracepoints as uAPI

[Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer <pierre-eric.pelloux-prayer@amd.com>]

This commit adds a document section in drm-uapi.rst about tracepoints,
and mark the events gpu_scheduler_trace.h as stable uAPI.

The goal is to explicitly state that tools can rely on the fields,
formats and semantics of these events.

+Trace events
+============
+
+See Documentation/trace/tracepoints.rst for information about using
+Linux Kernel Tracepoints.
+In the DRM subsystem, some events are considered stable uAPI to avoid
+breaking tools (e.g.: GPUVis, umr) relying on them. Stable means that fields
+cannot be removed, nor their formatting updated. Adding new fields is
+possible, under the normal uAPI requirements.
