[PATCH 8/8] ci: drop redundant linux-reftable job

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date

Message-ID
<20261008-pks-ci-housekeeping-v1-8-baf015c589c0@pks.im>
In-Reply-To

The "linux-reftable" job exercises Git with reftables as its default backend. But this job is arguably redundant because we already have the "linux-reftable-leaks" job that exercises reftables with the leak sanitizer enabled, and it is unlikely that we will catch any extra bugs with the leak sanitizer disabled.

Drop the job.
