Should this be "reordered from" instead of "reordered to"? For example,
if the following case needs a smp_mb() between write to A and write to
B, I think currently it will report as follow:

	foo() {
		WRITE_ONCE(A, 1); // let's say A's address is 0xaaaa
		bar() {
			WRITE_ONCE(B, 1); // Assume B's address is 0xbbbb
					  // KCSAN find the problem here
		}
	}

	<report>
	| write (reordered) to 0xaaaa of ...:
	| bar+0x... // address of the write to B
	| foo+0x... // address of the callsite to bar()
	| ...
	|  |
	|  +-> reordered to: foo+0x... // address of the write to A

But since the access reported here is the write to A, so it's a
"reordered from" instead of "reordered to"?
