Botond Dénes 61028ad718 evicatble_reader: avoid preemption pitfall around waiting for readmission
Permits have to wait for re-admission after having been evicted. This
happens via `reader_permit::maybe_wait_readmission()`. The user of this
method -- the evictable reader -- uses it to re-wait admission when the
underlying reader was evicted. There is one tricky scenario however,
when the underlying reader is created for the first time. When the
evictable reader is part of a multishard query stack, the created reader
might in fact be a resumed, saved one. These readers are kept in an
inactive state until actually resumed. The evictable reader shares it
permit with the to-be-resumed reader so it can check whether it has been
evicted while saved and needs to wait readmission before being resumed.
In this flow it is critical that there is no preemption point between
this check and actually resuming the reader, because if there is, the
reader might end up actually recreated, without having waited for
readmission first.
To help avoid this situation, the existing `maybe_wait_readmission()` is
split into two methods:
* `bool reader_permit::needs_readmission()`
* `future<> reader_permit::wait_for_readmission()`

The evictable reader can now ensure there is no preemption point between
`needs_readmission()` and resuming the reader.
