Paul E. McKenney fc2897d2ab 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.
