Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm/page_io: mark various intentional data races

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

 read to 0xffff91ea33eac400 of 8 bytes by task 11276 on cpu 120:

 read to 0xffff9095cbaa8400 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 72:
  swap_slot_free_notify+0x121/0x2e0
  swap_slot_free_notify at mm/page_io.c:89

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 a data race happens. Thus, just mark them as intentional data races
using the data_race() macro.
