prepare_to_wait() can be reasonably called after schedule instead of setting a flag and preparing in the next loop iteration. This means that prepare_to_wait() will be called before read_seqcount_begin(), but there shouldn't be any reason that the order matters here. On the first iteration of the loop prepare_to_wait() is already called first.
