[ Upstream commit e158488be27b157802753a59b336142dc0eb0380 ]
Because wake_q_add() can imply an immediate wakeup (cmpxchg failure
case), we must not rely on the wakeup being delayed. However, commit:
e38513905eea ("locking/rwsem: Rework zeroing reader waiter->task")
relies on exactly that behaviour in that the wakeup must not happen
until after we clear waiter->task.
[ peterz: Added changelog. ]
