Within p9_fd_open(), O_NONBLOCK is added to f_flags of the read and
write files. This may happen concurrently if e.g. mounting process
modifies the fd in another thread.

Mark the plain read-modify-writes as intentional data-races, with the
assumption that the result of executing the accesses concurrently will
always result in the same result despite the accesses themselves not
being atomic.

Hi Marco, sorry for taking ages to process this patch. I've reworded the
commit message a bit and added a comment, so given this has your name on
it please have a look.
I'm planning to send this to Linus during the merge window next week
