This tag is not in the branch that is pulled to the linux-next tree, the
zstd-next branch still points to v6.14-rc5. This means the 1.5.7 update
hasn't been exposed to linux-next testing. Please update the branch to
the tag as well, the merge window opens next week leaving little time
before sending the pull request.

I've tested this patch with fstests and btrfs, no problems found, but
regarding the process the updates need to be in linux-next 1-2 weeks
before the merge window. We're past that. As this is restarting the zstd
merging I hope we can get away with that this time, skipping another
development cycle would be unfortunate but also not helping anything.
