[Bug 2098413] Re: Bump intel-gmmlib to 22.5.5 in Oracular

> description:  updated

SRU changes LGTM. Sponsoring as version 22.5.5-0ubuntu0.24.10.1.

For SRU uploads, we use a special version numbering scheme so that if
users upgrade their system to a new version, they will automatically get
the newer version in the newer release instead of keeping the SRU'ed
version in the older release. You can learn more about how this special
version numbering scheme works here:
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-maintainers-
handbook/blob/main/VersionStrings.md#version-adding-a-change-in-ubuntu-
as-a-stable-release-update.

You will need to wait for the SRU team to process this upload through
the queue.

Title:
  [SRU] Bump intel-gmmlib to 22.5.5 in Oracular

Status in intel-gmmlib package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The Intel media driver needs a version update to fully support
  Battlemage in 24.4.4, and the required gmmlib version is 22.5.5.
  Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, this version bump should
  be backported to oracular before we file an SRU exception for HWE
  purposes.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Intel performs extensive validation for the media stack internally
  before releasing.

   * Canonical's Intel squad performs basic testing on successful media
  driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing hardware
  encode/decode on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * Issues can occur if media driver component versions mismatch. In
  this case, we should have gmmlib at 22.5.5, libva at 2.22.0, and the
  media driver (free and non-free) at 24.4.4 (LP: #2098420).

  * If there is any critical bug in the media stack, there could be a
  fallback to software encode/decode, which is slower and more resource-
  intensive.
