READ_ONCE is reasonably cheap: do we really want to have this kind of
conversation every time we touch this code in the future? Personally, I
would have used READ/WRITE_ONCE everywhere for inflight_req_id and
req_id, because it makes the code easier to understand. 

We have already limited their usage, but at least we have followed a set
of guidelines. Doing further optimizations on this code seems
unnecessary and prone to confuse the reader.

yes, good idea.
