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().
I'm taking this without the READ_ONCE hunk because ACCESS_ONCE is gone since v4.15 and I had to move on in v4.16.
