It would be so much easier if that were normal quotes like:

754bd598be9b ("sched/fair: Do not announce throttled next buddy in dequeue_task_fair()")
094f469172e0 ("sched/fair: Initialize throttle_count for new task-groups lazily")

Then I'd not have had to look them up. And I'm most certainly not going
to click through various interweb sites to provide answers.
