Linux 4.9.106

[Greg KH]

I'm announcing the release of the 4.9.106 kernel.

Not everyone who uses 4.9 needs to upgrade here, it's a big sync of the
objtool codebase to make future maintenance of 4.9.y easier over time,
that's all.  But of course, updating and verifying that nothing broke is
always appreciated :)

The updated 4.9.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.9.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
