Subject: [PATCH -tip v3 09/11] data_race: Avoid nested statement expression

It appears that compilers have trouble with nested statement
expressions. Therefore remove one level of statement expression nesting
from the data_race() macro. This will help us avoid potential problems
in future as its usage increases.
