Recently, multiple patch series have been submitted to Android kernels
with the FROMLIST: tag, despite them containing changes that have been
rejected by the upstream community, sometimes many years ago.
FROMLIST is to be used for things that have a chance to be accepted
upstream, or for work-in-progress changes, NOT for rejected submissions,
as using this tag should not hide this rejection state.

There needs to be a bug for FROMLIST patches to discuss
rationale for why the patch is so urgent that it needs
to be merged before maintainers accept it upstream.

The backporting comment shall refer to the user adding the comment. It
otherwise might become ambiguous.

Added text to README.md to remind developers that
upstream maintainers need to see uses of exported
symbols if new exports are being added and that
enablement of out-of-tree functionality is not
a sufficient argument for patches to be added.

Some renderers include this bullet in the code
block. Make sure it is not in the code block
and is still indented.

The instructions in the README should match what `git cherry-pick -x` is
producing to get a consistent format that we can later rely on.
