READ_ONCE (especially the second one)? I know I may sound fixated on
this but I really don't understand how compiler may do anything wrong if
straight reads were used.

For the first case, I guess, theoretically the compiler may decide to
re-fetch map->passive.inflight_req_id. But even if it did, would that be
a problem? Both of these READ_ONCE targets are updated below before
PVCALLS_FLAG_ACCEPT_INFLIGHT is cleared so there should not be any
change between re-fetching, I think. (The only exception is the noblock
case, which does WRITE_ONCE that don't understand either)

Why not ret?
