6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 49c386ebbb43394ff4773ce24f726f6afc4c30c8 ]
This reverts commit 700dea5a0bea9f64eba89fae7cb2540326fdfdc1.
The reason for that commit was --sort=ORDER introduced in
tar 1.28 (2014). More than 3 years have passed since then.
Requiring GNU tar 1.28 should be fine now because we require
GCC 5.1 (2015).
