When sending things to the stable tree, it's better to make that
upstream information explicit at the top, rather than hiding it like
this in the sign-off change.

IOW, just somethuing like

   "commit c3c87e770458aa004bd7ed3f29945ff436fd6511 upstream"

as the first line of the body (not the subject line) tends to be the
standard way.

I suspect Greg edits things that way anyway, but it presumably helps
if it's already in the right format.

That way i*really* stands out what commit that is upstream.
