Subject: [PATCH] char/random: fix data races at timer_rand_state

Fields in "struct timer_rand_state" could be accessed concurrently.
Lockless plain reads and writes result in data races. Fix them by adding
pairs of READ|WRITE_ONCE(). The data races were reported by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in add_timer_randomness / add_timer_randomness
