drop 7 patches based on RC review feedback
Dropped patches:
- "rtla: Use str_has_prefix() for prefix checks"
Queues: 7.0
Reason: build break -- str_has_prefix() helper (upstream
0f4bc9d67a64)
not backported to 7.0; reported by RTLA co-maintainer Tomas Glozar.
Report: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CAP4=nvTUdVQN8j_qJnfytGOJMa4LaX2h3Z9-cmDopBhKE87_nA@mail.gmail.com/
- "rtla/trace: Fix write loop in trace_event_save_hist()" [dependency]
Queues: 7.0
Reason: queued atop the dropped str_has_prefix conversion; Tomas
offered to send a rebased version.
- "rtla: Simplify code by caching string lengths" [dependency]
Queues: 7.0
Reason: sibling Stable-dep-of
4bf4ef5292b9; dropped together with the
other two rtla patches per Sasha's expanded DROP_WITH_DEPS.
- "libbpf: Stringify errno in log messages in libbpf.c"
Queues: 6.12
Reason: build break -- errstr() helper not declared in 6.12 (would
require
c68b6fdc3600 plus a chain of refactors that don't apply
cleanly). Reported by Salvatore Bonaccorso and Florian Fainelli.

- "libbpf: Prevent double close and leak of btf objects" [dependency]
Queues: 6.12
Reason: adds additional errstr() call sites; cannot stay without
the stringify patch.
- "libbpf: Change log level of btf loading error message" [dependency]
Queues: 6.12
Reason: only queued as Stable-dep-of
380044c40b16; loses purpose once
that target is dropped.
- "erofs: verify metadata accesses for file-backed mounts"
Queues: 7.0, 6.18, 6.12
Reason: EROFS maintainer / patch author Gao Xiang requested drop
across all three trees -- introduces an Android SELinux/permission
regression and the upstream follow-up fix is still under discussion.

- "sched: Make class_schedulers avoid pushing current, and get rid of
proxy_tag_curr()"
Queues: 6.18
Reason: patch author John Stultz asked to drop from 6.18-stable -- it
only matters for the EXPERT-gated, still-in-development proxy-exec
feature, and the downside of not taking it is non-ideal balancing.
Keeping it queued in 7.0 per Stultz's literal request scope.
Report: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/CANDhNCpZWMk6GWubK8+E0rxKUqtuhOtrjqxunS=Kmho-UbR0UA@mail.gmail.com/
- "riscv: misaligned: Make enabling delegation depend on NONPORTABLE"
Queues: 7.0, 6.18
Reason: patch author Vivian Wang retracts her Cc: stable request --
boot-time crashes seen on 7.1-rc / linux-next on some hardware /
firmware combinations; asks for time to investigate before
re-submitting.

- "perf tools: Fix module symbol resolution for non-zero .text sh_addr"
Queues: 6.6, 6.1, 5.15, 5.10
Reason: build break -- patch calls dso__rel() inline which doesn't
exist on these versions (the underlying dso refcount refactor was
never backported). 7.0/6.18/6.12 have the inline and remain queued.
Reported by Florian Fainelli.
