Merge 'test: fix flaky tablets test by using read barrier' from Aleksandra Martyniuk

Some tests in test_tablets.py read system_schema.keyspaces from an arbitrary node that may not have applied the latest schema change yet. Pin the read to a specific node and issue a read barrier before querying, ensuring the node has up-to-date data.

Fixes: https://scylladb.atlassian.net/browse/SCYLLADB-1700

Test fix; no backport

Closes scylladb/scylladb#29655

* github.com:scylladb/scylladb:
  test: fix flaky rack list conversion tests by using read barrier
  test: fix flaky test_enforce_rack_list_option by using read barrier
