Skipped "x86/mm/pat: Fix L1TF stable backport for CPA" because that
would only be required if we had reverted "86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn
only contains page frame numbers" which upstream stable did in 4.4.104
but we did not. By sheer luck this failed to apply because of incorrect
use of tabs and spaces in our version. Not sure what the issues were
which led to the revert but if we ever have to we also need to pick up
this one.

Manual adaption of "ovl: Ensure upper filesystem supports d_type" due to delta 
introduced by
"UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlay: add backwards compatible overlayfs format support V4".

** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
  
-     SRU Justification
+     Impact:
+        The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
+        in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
+        demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
+        by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
+        a minimally backported form of that patch. The 4.4.153 upstream stable
+        patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
+        kernel as well.
