Merge patch series "Bump minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0"

s390 and x86 have required LLVM 15 since

  30d17fac6aae ("scripts/min-tool-version.sh: raise minimum clang version to 15.0.0 for s390")
  7861640aac52 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum LLVM version to 15.0.0")

respectively. This series bumps the rest of the kernel to 15.0.0 to
match, which allows for a decent number of clean ups.

On the distros front, we will only leave behind Debian Bookworm and
Ubuntu Jammy. In both of those cases, builders / developers can either
use the kernel.org toolchains or https://apt.llvm.org to get newer
versions that will run on those distributions, if they cannot upgrade.
