Subject: [PATCH -next] mm/page_io: mark various intentional data races

struct swap_info_struct si.flags could be accessed concurrently as
noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in scan_swap_map_slots / swap_readpage

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 7 PID: 5422 Comm: gmain 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

Other reads,

 read to 0xffff91ea33eac400 of 8 bytes by task 11276 on cpu 120:
  __swap_writepage+0x140/0xc20
  __swap_writepage at mm/page_io.c:289

 read to 0xffff91ea33eac400 of 8 bytes by task 11264 on cpu 16:
  swap_set_page_dirty+0x44/0x1f4
  swap_set_page_dirty at mm/page_io.c:442

The write is under &si->lock, but the reads are done as lockless. Since
the reads only check for a specific bit in the flag, it is harmless even
if load tearing happens. Thus, just mark them as intentional data races
using the data_race() macro.
