[ANNOUNCE] v5.6.19-rt12

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.6.19-rt12 patch set.

Changes since v5.6.19-rt11:

  - Use a raw_spinlock_t in io-wq. This avoids acquiring a sleeping lock
    in atomic context.

  - Address ifnullfree.cocci warnings in printk. Patch by Julia Lawall.

  - Add "dev: Defer free of skbs in flush_backlog" from upstream.

  - As a result of the previous patch, the "skbufhead-raw-lock.patch"
    can be shrunken by removing the now no longer required
    softnet_data::tofree_queue and the special IRQ-off handling.

Known issues
     - It has been pointed out that due to changes to the printk code the
       internal buffer representation changed. This is only an issue if tools
       like `crash' are used to extract the printk buffer from a kernel memory
       image.
