Dear stable team,

Would you please cherry-pick the following patch into v5.15 stable:

locking/rwsem: Disable preemption while trying for rwsem lock

commit 48dfb5d2560d36fb16c7d430c229d1604ea7d185

Why? What does it fix? Why is it needed there? And why not cc: any of the people and maintainers involved in it?
