Concurrent reads on the same file descriptor are allowed. Not with sys_read(),
as that implicitly uses the file position. But it's allowed with sys_pread(),
and also with sys_sendfile() which is the case syzbot is reporting here.

Well, it's a data race. Each open file descriptor has just one readahead state
(struct file_ra_state), and concurrent reads of the same file descriptor
use/change that readahead state without any locking.
Presumably this has traditionally been considered okay, since readahead is
"only" for performance and doesn't affect correctness. And for performance
reasons, we want to avoid locking during file reads.
So we may just need to annotate all access to file_ra_state with
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()...
