[ANNOUNCE] v4.11.12-rt13

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.11.12-rt13 patch set. 

Changes since v4.11.12-rt12:

  - Merging Anna-Maria's "hrtimer: Provide softirq context hrtimers"
    series. Merging this series enables the removal of almost all
    hrtimer related patches in the queue. What is left is the "force
    switch" of all timers to the softirq context (except a few special
    ones) and a wait-queue to wait until a timer is completed.
    The overall diffstat compared to -rt12 is
      21 files changed, 573 insertions(+), 651 deletions(-)
    amazing. We have RT wise the same functionality with 78 lines less
    of code.

Known issues
	- There was a report regarding a deadlock within the rtmutex code.
