Or simply

	static inline bool owner_on_cpu(struct task_struct *owner)
	{
		return owner->on_cpu && !vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner));
	}

	static inline bool rwsem_can_spin_on_owner(struct rw_semaphore *sem)
	{
		struct task_struct *owner;
		bool ret = true;

		if (need_resched())
			return false;

		rcu_read_lock();
		owner = READ_ONCE(sem->owner);
		if (owner) {
			ret = is_rwsem_owner_spinnable(owner) &&
			      owner_on_cpu(owner);
		}
		rcu_read_unlock();
		return ret;
	}

note that rwsem_spin_on_owner() can use the new owner_on_cpu() helper too,

		if (need_resched() || !owner_on_cpu(owner)) {
			rcu_read_unlock();
			return false;
		}

looks a bit better than the current code:

		if (!owner->on_cpu || need_resched() ||
				vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner))) {
			rcu_read_unlock();
			return false;
		}
