rcu: Inform KCSAN of one-byte cmpxchg() in rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs()
Tasks Trace RCU needs a single-byte cmpxchg(), but no such thing exists. Therefore, rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs() emulates one using field substitution and a four-byte cmpxchg(), such that the other three bytes are always atomically updated to their old values. This works, but results in false-positive KCSAN failures because as far as KCSAN knows, this cmpxchg() operation is updating all four bytes. This commit therefore encloses the cmpxchg() in a data_race() and adds a single-byte instrument_atomic_read_write(), thus telling KCSAN exactly what is going on so as to avoid the false positives.
