Disabling most instrumentation for arch/x86 is reasonable. Also fine
with the __READ_ONCE/__WRITE_ONCE changes (your improved
compiler-friendlier version).

We likely can't have both: still instrument __READ_ONCE/__WRITE_ONCE
(as Will suggested) *and* avoid double-instrumentation in arch_atomic.
If most use-cases of __READ_ONCE/__WRITE_ONCE are likely to use
data_race() or KCSAN_SANITIZE := n anyway, I'd say it's reasonable for
now.
