Subject: [PATCH RT] seqlock: provide the same ordering semantics as mainline
From: Julia Cartwright <julia () ni ! com>

The mainline implementation of read_seqbegin() orders prior loads w.r.t.
the read-side critical section. Fixup the RT writer-boosting
implementation to provide the same guarantee.
Also, while we're here, update the usage of ACCESS_ONCE() to use
READ_ONCE().
Fixes: e69f15cf77c23 ("seqlock: Prevent rt starvation")
