[ANNOUNCE] v4.16.18-rt10

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.18-rt10 patch set.

Changes since v4.16.18-rt9:

  - The gicv3 now gained a raw_spinlock_t and allocates memory early.
    This avoids splats early during boot.

  - The migrate_disable() replacements for UP and non-RT builds were
    broken. The logic changed for this configuration and now
    migrate_disable() turns on preempt_disable(). Reported by Joe Korty.

  - The trace events in the cgroup code allocate a sleeping lock which
    does not work on RT. Reported by Clark Williams, patch by Steven
    Rostedt.

  - Avoid a preempt_disable() section during fork. This gives
    debug_object() an additional opportunity to refill its pool if
    needed.

  - Drop the "Prevent broadcast signals" patch. Broadcast signals are
    not prevented by preventing sig_kernel_only() and
    sig_kernel_coredump() (as explained by Eric W. Biederman). This change
    was probably required in the early days but I can't find a reason why it
    should be still required.

  - The "delay ioapic unmask during pending setaffinity" patch been
    replaced with an updated version by Thomas Gleixner.

Known issues
     - A warning triggered in "rcu_note_context_switch" originated from
       SyS_timer_gettime(). The issue was always there, it is now
       visible. Reported by Grygorii Strashko and Daniel Wagner.
