[ANNOUNCE] 4.4.7-rt16

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.4.7-rt16 patch set.
Changes since v4.4.7-rt15:

- picked a few panic() re-entrance from NMI fixes from upstream. On -RT
  we have the same problem without NMI but with the soft/hard watchdog
  triggering panic().

- Don't take the port->lock on oops_in_progress. We had a trylock but
  that trylock does not work if invoked with IRQs off (like from the
  panic() caller). I am not very happy about this but if we keep it
  that way it would make sense to make a similar change for the other
  UART drivers…

- Rik van Riel and Clark Williams pointed out that a change made by
  Frederic Weisbecker in v4.5 could be backported and then we could
  remove some locking around vtime handling.

Known issues:
  - CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.
