ACK/Cmnt: [SRU][N:linux-azure][PATCH 0/1] azure: backport "smb: client: fix cifs_pick_channel when channel needs reconnect"

[Benjamin Wheeler]

Vinicius, thanks for submitting. Please note that the Stable Patch Format (
https://canonical-kernel-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/reference/stable-patch-format/#comment-body)
guidelines currently require the BugLink to be of the form "
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/id`. Just keep that in mind in the future.
Otherwise, looks fine.
