For a few months now [1], BPF patches that are "Networking related" should have the "bpf-next/net" prefix.

With the previous order, the PW poller was considering this prefix as "for net", leading to these results on Patchwork [2]:

Context Check Description
netdev/tree_selection success Clearly marked for net
netdev/apply fail Patch does not apply to net-0

By changing the order of the list, such patches with "[bpf-next/net]" will be marked for "bpf-next", and they will not be applied locally like it was the case before with "bpf-next" patches.

Restarting the build tester with patches in the queue scares me so I will probably deploy on the weekend ;)
Thanks!
