4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch. If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.
--- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 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().
