Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm/kmemleak: annotate various data races obj->ptr

The value of object->pointer could be accessed concurrently as noticed
by KCSAN,

crc32() will dereference object->pointer. If a shattered value was
returned due to a data race, it will be corrected in the next scan.
scan_block() will dereference a range of addresses (e.g., percpu
sections) to search for valid pointers. Even if a data race heppens, it
will cause no issue because the code here does not care about the exact
value of a non-pointer. Thus, mark them as intentional data races using
the data_race() macro.
