[ANNOUNCE] v4.16.18-rt12

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.18-rt12 patch set.

Changes since v4.16.18-rt11:

  - Mark RCU's "rcu_iw" irqwork to be invoked in hardirq context as
    expected by RCU. Reported by John Ogness.

  - Drop the "is_special_task_state()" check from rtmutex's custom
    set_state function. This avoids a warning if the sleeping-lock code
    is restoring back to this "special" state.

  - If a kworker invokes schedule() it is possible that it wakes another
    kworker and invokes schedule() again. Try to avoid the second
    schedule(). Reported and patched by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira.

  - Enable XEN on ARM64. Iain Hunter reported that there are no problems
    with it so there is no reason to keep disabled.

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.
