Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmzone.c: fix page_cpupid_xchg_last() to READ_ONCE() the
 page flags

After submitting a patch with a compare-exchange loop similar to this
one to set the KASAN tag in the page flags, Andrey Konovalov pointed
out that we should be using READ_ONCE() to read the page flags. Fix
it here.

Fixes: 75980e97dacc ("mm: fold page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible")
