I didn't look hard enough; if there ever is a time where the loads and
stores happen concurrently, you need READ/WRITE_ONCE(). If there is no
concurrency on the variables, you don't need anything.

Neither atomic_read/set() nor REAd/WRITE_ONCE() will help with ordering,
which is what the wake_up_process() would provide here, different things
entirely.
