Comment: Update descriptions of patches ported to/from the upstream kernel

...

Lustre-commit: and Lustre-change: are used to reference the original version of a patch that is being ported to another branch or to the upstream kernel.

Patches pushed to the upstream kernel should include Intel-bug-id: to reference the JIRA URL for the LU ticket, in the form https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-nnnn. Patches should also include the Reviewed-on: permalink URL for the Gerrit patch, in the form https://review.whamcloud.com/nnnnn. The upstream maintainers do not want to have commit hashes for non-kernel commits, so upstream patches should not include the Lustre-commit: tag.

Patches ported from the upstream kernel, the patch should keep the original commit summary line, with slight modification to conform to Lustre standards: include the JIRA LU ticket number, and replace "staging" and other pathnames in the summary with a subsystem. The Linux-commit: tag is used for tracking patches that were originally committed to hold the upstream Linux kernel commit hashThe original author should be kept as the author of the patch using the git --author option, as well as the original Signed-off-by: tag(s).

Test-Parameters: is used to specify additional testing parameters for this patch, see Changing Test Parameters with Gerrit Commit Messages.
