Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix data race in PagePoisoned()

PagePoisoned() accesses page->flags which can be updated concurrently:

  | BUG: KCSAN: data-race in next_uptodate_page / unlock_page
  |
  | write (marked) to 0xffffea00050f37c0 of 8 bytes by task 1872 on cpu 1:
  |  instrument_atomic_write           include/linux/instrumented.h:87 [inline]
  |  clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-lock.h:74 [inline]
  |  unlock_page+0x102/0x1b0           mm/filemap.c:1465
  |  filemap_map_pages+0x6c6/0x890     mm/filemap.c:3057
  |  ...
  | read to 0xffffea00050f37c0 of 8 bytes by task 1873 on cpu 0:
  |  PagePoisoned                   include/linux/page-flags.h:204 [inline]
  |  PageReadahead                  include/linux/page-flags.h:382 [inline]
  |  next_uptodate_page+0x456/0x830 mm/filemap.c:2975
  |  ...
  | CPU: 0 PID: 1873 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.11.0-rc4-00001-gf9ce0be71d1f #1

To avoid the compiler tearing or otherwise optimizing the access, use
READ_ONCE() to access flags.
