[ANNOUNCE] 4.4.262-rt219

[Daniel Wagner]

Hello RT-list!

I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.262-rt219 stable release.

This is just an update to the latest stable release. No RT
specific changes.

I tried to fix the locking self failures I reported last time. As it
turns out the test setup was somehow broken. After redoing all the
test just using 'defconfig + kvmconfig + locking_selftest' all worked
fine. I also tested older v4.4-rt releases and there was no failures.

Furthermore, the cyclicdeadline fails again, which I probably a good
thing; I don't believe in self healing capabilities of the -rt patchset.
Anyway, I think my build/test setup was just broken.

Known issue:

  - locktorture reports a might_sleep warning for spin_locks test
