Now ep->lock is responsible for wqueue serialization, thus if ep->lock is taken on write path, wake_up_locked() can be invoked. Though, read path is different. Since concurrent cpus can enter the wake up function it needs to be internally serialized, thus wake_up() variant is used which implies internal spin lock.
