A single combined patchset is fine when the same patches apply cleanly
to all the target trees - just list the versions in the subject like
you described. Separate per-tree submissions are only needed when the
backports diverge.

On this series: still holding for now - Tejun's fix for the psimon
creation under cgroup_mutex hasn't landed in mainline yet. Once it
does, I'll queue the series for 6.12, 6.6, and 6.1.
