Driver core fixes for 6.8-rc5

Here are some driver core fixes, a kobject fix, and a documentation
update for 6.8-rc5.  In detail these changes are:
  - devlink fixes for reported issues with 6.8-rc1
  - topology scheduling regression fix that has been reported by many
  - kobject loosening of checks change in -rc1 is now reverted as some
    codepaths seemed to need the checks
  - documentation update for the CVE process.  Has been reviewed by
    many, the last minute change to the document was to bring the .rst
    format back into the the new style rules, the contents did not
    change.

All of these, except for the documentation update, have been in
linux-next for over a week.  The documentation update has been reviewed
for weeks by a group of developers, and in public for a week and the
wording has stabilized for now.  If future changes are needed, we can do
so before 6.8-final is out (or anytime after that.)
