Subject: [RT PATCH] locking/rwsem-rt: Remove might_sleep() in __up_read()

There's no chance of sleeping here, the reader is giving up the
lock and possibly waking up the writer who is waiting on it.

Hello,

I ran into a warning caused by this, and I think the warning is
incorrect. Please let me know if I'm wrong!
I'm working off of linux-5.12.y-rt, but this applies cleanly to older
stable branches as well.

Thanks,
Andrew
