Hi Reinette,

I had misremembered what that Documentation file said. There is a
section that describes keeping the Signed-off-by: tags in the order
they were applied so that the commit comment describes the path that
the patch took before final acceptance. I thought that ordering applied
to other tags.

But while I was there refreshing my memory I also noted the section
about documenting changes made when adopting patches from other
people. So I've added:

[Tony: Drop __init attribute so resctrl_file_fflags_init() can be used
at run time]
