kcsan: Address missing case with KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY

Even with KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY, KCSAN still reports data
races between reads and watchpointed writes, even if the writes wrote
values already present.  This commit causes KCSAN to unconditionally
skip reporting in this case.
