Only patch avc_has_perm/avc_has_perm_noaudit when the WRITE_ONCE to selinux_state was a no-op (CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=n kernels). On kernels where the write takes effect, unconditionally patching these functions leaves SELinux enforcement silently bypassed after KernelSU restores enforce=1, which root detection tools can fingerprint.

The tracked modules were the last 1.16-era binaries in the tree. The replacements come from the
build-lkms artifacts of run 41225580416 - the merge of zero-androidx, so the same source now on
master - and went into app/src/main/jni/ko/ the way d9c8861 did for 1.16. Building them here is not
possible: the ghcr.io/ylarod/ddk-min images need a container runtime this machine does not have.

Checked per module, old against new:
- .note.gnu.build-id is present in all eight new ones and in none of the old ones (readelf -n). The
  old copies predate fa7380b dropping the second llvm-objcopy pass in the workflow, and a module with
  no build-id is exactly what fails to load on the Galaxy A34 - the committed binaries were carrying
  a loading regression the 1.16 notes claimed was fixed.
- avc_has_perm and avc_has_perm_noaudit now appear in them, the SELinux fallback from upstream diabl0w#172.
  The old android15-6.6 copy names neither.
- vermagic unchanged per KMI: 5.10.252-dirty, 5.10.245, 5.15.202-android13-5.15.202_r00-dirty,
  5.15.202-dirty, 6.1.166-dirty, 6.6.127-4k-g46a034eca005-dirty, 6.12.76-4k and
  6.18.32-4k-g47cc22554442-dirty. Same DDK images, same toolchain.
- Sizes: 13976 -> 14496, 12904 -> 13032, 13144 -> 13504, 13144 -> 13504, 9880 -> 10112,
  10328 -> 10560, 11024 -> 11032, 10792 -> 11040.

Verified by building :app:assembleRelease over the refreshed tree and taking libdfroot.so back out of
the APK: all eight committed files sit inside it byte for byte, at 0x1480 through 0x16560, 97,280 of
the 124,136 bytes in that .so. That is how the modules ship - the .incbin block in exp.c - so there
are no ko/ entries in an APK to look at, and strings on the .so finds eight vermagic lines.

CHANGELOG: the item moves out of "Before the tag is cut" into what 1.17 actually did, and the refresh
recipe is written down. The only thing still gating the tag is the D2 / Odin writer.

Brings in the eight upstream commits between our 1.16 merge base (d3cd07a) and the
v4.7 tag - six of substance, plus two version bumps that resolve to our own:

- 6179d57 "Bug fixes and simplification" (mitschud#139). patch_fn_ret_zero no longer
  decodes a BTI/PACIASP/PACIBSP preamble and no longer picks retaa/retab per SoC:
  it unconditionally writes three words - BTI C, MOV x0,#0, RET - which is a
  valid landing pad whether or not BTI is enforced, and RET is correct because we
  are replacing the whole prologue, not branching into the middle of one. In
  bootstrap.c the fork() that rewrote /proc/self/attr/current to u:r:init:s0 is
  gone; the LKM now writes that context through
  echo -n 'u:r:init:s0' > /proc/self/attr/exec inside the usermodehelper command,
  so the context switch happens at the exec instead of in a child we then wait on.
- 0fed9a8 "Fix kernel compatibility".
- 452191a "Fix oppo devices": the section diet moves from an llvm-objcopy pass to
  the compiler (-Qn -fno-addrsig), and the root Makefile drops its objcopy pass.
- ae2ed2b guards the new avc_has_perm / avc_has_perm_noaudit patches behind a
  readback of selinux_state, for kernels built with
  CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=n where writing selinux_state is a no-op (diabl0w#172).
- 779b3be makes ExploitRunner stop with an actionable message when persist.log.tag
  starts with S - Developer Options "Log buffer size = Off" leaves the exploit
  blind to its own logcat output (diabl0w#173).
- 4ec133c adds the GPL-2.0 LICENSE file the upstream maintainer asked for, which
  lands here too: this fork is GPLv2 from this commit on.

Conflict resolutions:
- app/build.gradle.kts: keep DirtyFrag versioning rather than upstream's
  407 / "4.7" - now versionCode 34, versionName 1.17.
- .gitignore: keep our app/keystore.jks, *.log and apk/ and take upstream's
  .DS_Store.

Nothing else conflicted. exp.c carries only fork work and upstream never touched
it; bootstrap.c, lkm/dfroot.c and ExploitRunner.java had no fork-side edits after
the 1.16 merge, so upstream's versions apply cleanly on top of them.

The eight tracked app/src/main/jni/ko/dfroot-<KMI>.ko are deliberately NOT
refreshed in this merge: they are still built from the 1.16 (upstream 4.5) tree.
Rebuilding them needs the ghcr.io/ylarod/ddk-min containers that the LKM Makefile
and the build-lkms CI job drive, and this box has no container runtime. CI rebuilds
all eight from source on every push and downloads them into jni/ko/ before the APK
is assembled, so a CI-built 1.17 APK does contain the avc, oppo and kernel-compat
fixes. Only a locally built 1.17 APK would still ship the 1.16 modules, and the
tracked copies should be refreshed from the build-lkms artifacts before the 1.17
tag, the way d9c8861 did for 1.16.

minSdk stays 32 - upstream did not change it.
