So what I have done is to drop this patch from the series, but to also
preserve it for posterity at -rcu branch lazy-obsolete.2022.11.30a.

It looks like that wakeup is still delayed, but I could easily be
missing something.

Joel, could you please test the effects of having the current lazy branch,
but also David Howells's patch?  That way, if there is an issue, we can
work it sooner rather than later, and if it all works fine, we can stop
worrying about it.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
