Subject: [PATCH] spinlock_debug: Fix various data races

This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.

Example data race report:

read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2:
 debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline]
 do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112
 __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline]
 _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151
 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline]
 get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873
 get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline]
<snip>

write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3:
 debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline]
 do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138
 __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline]
 _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191
 spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline]
 free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214
 __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864
<snip>

As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug ->
KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock ->
deadlock.

This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.
