Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: mark an intentional data race in page_zonenum

page->flags could be accessed concurrently as noticied by KCSAN,

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 69 PID: 94817 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G        W  O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #6
 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019

Both the read and write are done only with the non-exclusive mmap_sem
held. Since the read only check for a specific bit range (up to 3 bits)
in the flag but the write here never change those 3 bits, so load
tearing would be harmless here. Thus, just mark it as an intentional
data races using the data_race() macro which is designed for those
situations [1].
