Quick announcement on the selinux/next and audit/next branches

Hello all,

As many of you are aware, normally with the close of the merge window
and the release of -rc1 I typically reset the selinux/next and
audit/next branches to Linus' -rc1 tag.  However, as you may have
heard already, there is a nasty problem with the early v5.12 kernels,
including -rc1, which could result in some fairly serious fs
corruption (see the LWN article below).  With that in mind, I'm not
going to reset the selinux/next and audit/next branches for this
development cycle, leaving them based on v5.11-rc2+patches (basically
the current stable-5.12 branches in each tree).  I don't expect this
to be a problem, but if necessary we can always rebase the -next
branches to -rc2 if it proves safe.
