drm/doc/rfc: Move userptr integration and vm_bind to the 'completed' section 

The must-have part of the documentation was already added to the existing
/gpu/drm-vm-bind-async. The other extra discussion around GPUVM helpers
are currently active in the community. None of those discussion should
block Xe since documentation, specially around locking was completed in
a community consensus.

Xe – Pre-Merge Goals - Work-in-Progress
=======================================
Userptr integration and vm_bind
-------------------------------
Different drivers implement different ways of dealing with execution of userptr.
With multiple drivers currently introducing support to VM_BIND, the goal is to
aim for a DRM consensus on what’s the best way to have that support. To some
extent this is already getting addressed itself with the GPUVA where likely the
userptr will be a GPUVA with a NULL GEM call VM bind directly on the userptr.
However, there are more aspects around the rules for that and the usage of
mmu_notifiers, locking and other aspects.
This task here has the goal of introducing a documentation of the basic rules.
The documentation *needs* to first live in this document (API session below) and
then moved to another more specific document or at Xe level or at DRM level.
Documentation should include:
* The userptr part of the VM_BIND api.
* Locking, including the page-faulting case.
* O(1) complexity under VM_BIND.
The document is now included in the drm documentation :doc:`here </gpu/drm-vm-bind-async>`.
Some parts of userptr like mmu_notifiers should become GPUVA or DRM helpers when
the second driver supporting VM_BIND+userptr appears. Details to be defined when
the time comes.
The DRM GPUVM helpers do not yet include the userptr parts, but discussions
about implementing them are ongoing.
