Kernel prepatch 6.12-rc3

Post Syndicated from corbet original https://lwn.net/Articles/993956/

The 6.12-rc3 kernel prepatch is out for
testing.

So the diffstat looks a bit odd, because one of the fixes here
caused the UTF tables to be regenerated, and an effective one-liner
change turned into 6703 lines of diff.

But if you ignore that effect, everything looks normal.
