Qian Cai 33190b675c locking/osq_lock: Annotate a data race in osq_lock
The prev->next pointer can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN:

 write (marked) to 0xffff9d3370dbbe40 of 8 bytes by task 3294 on cpu 107:
  osq_lock+0x25f/0x350
  osq_wait_next at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:79
  (inlined by) osq_lock at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:185
  rwsem_optimistic_spin
  <snip>

 read to 0xffff9d3370dbbe40 of 8 bytes by task 3398 on cpu 100:
  osq_lock+0x196/0x350
  osq_lock at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:157
  rwsem_optimistic_spin
  <snip>

Since the write only stores NULL to prev->next and the read tests if
prev->next equals to this_cpu_ptr(&osq_node). Even if the value is
shattered, the code is still working correctly. Thus, mark it as an
intentional data race using the data_race() macro.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
