[ANNOUNCE] v5.17.1-rt17

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.17.1-rt17 patch set. 

Changes since v5.17.1-rt16:

  - Update the "ptrace: fix ptrace vs tasklist_lock race" patch:

    - The rework in v5.17-rc6-rt11 caused a bug which may update the
      wrong state during a ptrace operation.

    - wait_task_inactive() waits for the expected task state and ensures
      that the task is not blocked on a lock.

Known issues
     - Valentin Schneider reported a few splats on ARM64, see
          https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210810134127.1394269-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com
