Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/10] alpha: snapshot thread flags
Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are
disabled, the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is
unlikely to cause a problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and
KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data race.
To avoid such issues, we should snapshot the flags prior to using them.
Let's use the new helpers to do so on alpha.
