Subject: [ANNOUNCE] v5.15-rt17

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.15-rt17 patch set. 

Changes since v5.15-rt16:

  - Remove put_cpu_var() in fscache which removal was overseen in the
    last release.

  - Redo the fs/dcache/start_dir_add() related patch and its
    description.

  - Drop preempt_disable_rt(), no more users.

Known issues
     - netconsole triggers WARN.

     - The "Memory controller" (CONFIG_MEMCG) has been disabled.

     - Valentin Schneider reported a few splats on ARM64, see
          https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210810134127.1394269-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com
