    Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:
    
     - support for something we call 'atomic replace', and allows for much
       better handling of cumulative patches (which is something very useful
       for distros), from Jason Baron with help of Petr Mladek and Joe
       Lawrence
    
     - improvement of handling of tasks blocking finalization, from Miroslav
       Benes
    
     - update of MAINTAINERS file to reflect move towards group
       maintainership
