Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pipe: Make poll_usage boolean and annotate its access.

pipe_poll() runs locklessly and assigns 1 to poll_usage.  Once poll_usage
is set to 1, it never changes in other places.  However, concurrent writes
of a value trigger KCSAN, so let's make KCSAN happy.

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in pipe_poll / pipe_poll

write to 0xffff8880042f6678 of 4 bytes by task 174 on cpu 3:
 pipe_poll (fs/pipe.c:656)
 ep_item_poll.isra.0 (./include/linux/poll.h:88 fs/eventpoll.c:853)
 do_epoll_wait (fs/eventpoll.c:1692 fs/eventpoll.c:1806 fs/eventpoll.c:2234)
 __x64_sys_epoll_wait (fs/eventpoll.c:2246 fs/eventpoll.c:2241 fs/eventpoll.c:2241)
 do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80)
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:113)
