Subject: [PATCH -next] mm/kmemleak: annotate a data race in checksum

Even if KCSAN is disabled for kmemleak, update_checksum() could still
call crc32() (which is outside of kmemleak.c) to dereference
object->pointer. Thus, the value of object->pointer could be accessed
concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in crc32_le_base / do_raw_spin_lock

 write to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 23575 on cpu 12:
  do_raw_spin_lock+0x114/0x200

  kmemleak_scan_thread+0xcc/0xfa
  kthread+0x1e0/0x200

If a shattered value was returned due to a data race, it will be
corrected in the next scan. Thus, annotate it as an intentional data
race using the data_race() macro.
