[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/2] 3-request-backport: use history from stable branch

[christian.ehrhardt]

From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>

To select the proper maintainers - as of today - we recommend to check
out the main branch in $STABLE_DIR before calling 3-request-backport.
But due to that the range $_parent_commit_id..HEAD selects the wrong HEAD
and thereby does not find any applied patch.

Instead we should use $RTE_VER_MAJOR that will correctly select the
branch name and therefore make 3-request-backport work in this case.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 2/2] 3-request-backport: explain why patches are selected

[christian.ehrhardt]

From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>

In the past we had a few "hey why did you try in the first place".
Since this is done based on the DPDK managed tool ./devtools/git-log-fixes.sh
discussions improvements and changes need to happen there and not on the
mail that that asks for backports.
Therefore mention the tool that selected the initial patch list in the
DPDK LTS process to guide everyone there as needed.
