Nit: it's conventional to refer to commits in the following manner:

e162b39a ("softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detection")

because a commit can have a different hash in different trees.

Notnit: "softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup
detection" was merged two years ago.  Shouldn't we have a Cc:
<stable@...nel.org> in this changelog?
