Subject: [PATCH -tip 0/2] locking/rwbase: Two reader optimizations

Hi,

Patch 1 is a barrier optimization that came up from the reader
fastpath ordering auditing.

Patch 2 is a resend of the previous broken patch that attempts
to use wake_q for read_unlock() slowpath.

Tested on v5.15.y-rt. Applies against tip/urgent.

Thanks!
