[FFE] lttng-modules is out of sync with lttng-tools

[Michael Jeanson]

In jammy, the lttng-tools and lttng-ust packages were updated to the 2.13 release while lttng-modules is still at 2.12, while this might work for some use-cases, it is both unsupported and untested upstream.

This is probably because of the ubuntu delta in the lttng-modules package which can be dropped since it's only patches to enable building against newer kernels which are all included in the 2.13 branch.

I maintain the lttng packages in Debian and would really like to see a solid lttng stack in the next ubuntu lts.

As a side-note, the package in testing "2.13.1" supports kernels up to 5.16, the one in unstable "2.13.1" adds support for 5.17 while the current jammy package has ubuntu patches to support 5.14.

The most notable features of this new release are:
  - Event-rule matches condition triggers and new actions, allowing internal
    actions or external monitoring applications to quickly react when kernel
    or user-space instrumentation is hit,
  - Notification payload capture, allowing external monitoring applications
    to read elements of the instrumentation payload when instrumentation is
    hit.
  - User space time namespace context.

Approving this FFe with my ubuntu-release hat on, the new features are fine especially as the userspace side is already present and the fact that things aren't lined up currently is a bit of an issue.

This bug was fixed in the package lttng-modules - 2.13.1-1
