Hi!

I managed to review most of them.

(comments there are really nothing you can do much, but I'd not bother
backporting 1e5047422011 and 8f0e3e6f2ec8).

I believe we should be taking this one. It is mostly theoretical bug,
backport is extensive and we really have no way of testing it:

! syscaller -> theoretical bug. This would really need testing. They
were deleting code from ack_complete. Lets... not? > 57059c01a09d nfc:
pn533: Wait for out_urb's completion in pn533_usb_send_frame()

I'd cite commit # being backported on the first one, and I'll need to
take second look at these:

! cite commit # of the patch being backported? > 7672af7c726f ALSA: pcm: Move rwsem lock inside snd_ctl_elem_read to prevent UAF
! NL_SET_ERR_MSG? > e6f2bae11168 net: sched: disallow noqueue for qdisc classes
