[PATCH v4] drm/sched: Create a fake device for KUnit tests

[PATCH v4] drm/sched: Create a fake device for KUnit tests

[oushixiong1025]

From: Shixiong Ou <oushixiong@kylinos.cn>

The DRM scheduler KUnit tests pass NULL for the dev field in
drm_sched_init_args, which NULL-pointer dereferences in the drm_sched_job
trace event via dev_name() on sched->dev.

Give the mock scheduler a device with kunit_device_register(), which is
also cleaned up at test exit. A per-function counter keeps the device
names unique, since some tests create several mock schedulers.

Fixes: 5a99350794fe ("drm/sched: Add scheduler unit testing infrastructure and some basic tests")

---
v3->v4:
  - Initialize the instance counter explicitly

v2->v3:
  - Start the mock scheduler device numbering at 0, using
    instance++ instead of ++instance

v1->v2:
  - Switch from faux_device_create() to kunit_device_register(), which also
    cleans the device up automatically at test exit (Maxime Ripard)
  - Build the device name on top of args.name (Philipp Stanner)
  - Make the instance counter a static unsigned int local to
    drm_mock_sched_new() (Philipp Stanner)
  - Add a Fixes: tag and Cc: stable for the NULL dev dereference

You learn something new every day – apparently that must not be done,
according to the DRM rules.

My bad.

I reverted it locally and pushed to drm-misc-fixes

Thx Shixiong.
