Subject: [GIT PULL] exit/core-dump non-urgent sleep for v6.12

Hello, Linus,

When the merge window opens, please pull the following exit-path
application core-dump commit for v6.12:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git tags/misc.2024.09.14a
  # HEAD: b8e753128ed074fcb48e9ceded940752f6b1c19f: exit: Sleep at TASK_IDLE when waiting for application core dump (2024-08-02 10:55:04 -0700)

No, this is not my usual part of the kernel, but it does have Oleg
Nesterov's ack.

----------------------------------------------------------------
exit: Sleep at TASK_IDLE when waiting for application core dump

This causes the coredump_task_exit() function to sleep at TASK_IDLE,
thus preventing task-blocked splats in case of large core dumps to
slow devices.
