Subject: [PATCH 01/20] tasklets: Replace barrier() with cpu_relax() in
 tasklet_unlock_wait()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.21-rt34.tar.xz

A barrier() in a tight loop which waits for something to happen on a remote
CPU is a pointless exercise. Replace it with cpu_relax() which allows HT
siblings to make progress.
