If CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT isn't enabled, the preemption enable/disable is a no-op, but still is a compiler barrier. And RCU locking still _needs_ that compiler barrier. It is simply fundamentally not true that RCU locking would be a complete no-op: we still need to guarantee (for example) that things that can trap and cause preemption cannot migrate into the RCU locked region. The way we do that is by making it a barrier. See for example commit 386afc91144b ("spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers") from back in 2013 that had similar issues with spinlocks that become no-ops on UP: they must still constrain the compiler from moving other operations into the critical region. Now, it is true that a lot of RCU operations already use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() (which in practice likely would never be re-ordered wrt anything remotely interesting), but it is also true that that is not globally the case, and that it's not even necessarily always possible (ie bitfields etc).
