Upstream-Status should only be in the patch file itself, not in the
commit message for oe-core.

Instead, provide a reference to the yocto bugzilla, so that the
reviewers know which bug this is fixing. A http link or [YOCTO
#nnnnnn] tag.

It's better to link to the web interface:

Upstream-Status: Backport
[https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gawk.git/commit/?id=f2250f4bc864913437619af7a9834a1c24915acd]

The reason is that sometimes a patch submission is labeled as
Backport, but actually isn't (not here, of course). It's best to make
that easy to verify, with a link like above.

You can simply change the main SRC_URI assignment and add the patch
there, instead of making a new statement with +=.

Other than this, looks good. Thanks for taking time to develop a
proper fix, and getting upstream to accept it. It's much better to
solve the issue properly, than simply skip the flaky tests.
