Subject: [PATCH v4] fs: Fix data race in inode_set_ctime_to_ts

A data race may occur when the function `inode_set_ctime_to_ts()` and
the function `inode_get_ctime_sec()` are executed concurrently. When
two threads call `aio_read` and `aio_write` respectively, they will
be distributed to the read and write functions of the corresponding
file system respectively. Taking the btrfs file system as an example,
the `btrfs_file_read_iter` and `btrfs_file_write_iter` functions are
finally called. These two functions created a data race when they
finally called `inode_get_ctime_sec()` and `inode_set_ctime_to_ns()`.
The specific call stack that appears during testing is as follows:

============DATA_RACE============
btrfs_delayed_update_inode+0x1f61/0x7ce0 [btrfs]
btrfs_update_inode+0x45e/0xbb0 [btrfs]

__se_sys_io_submit+0xb3/0x250
do_syscall_64+0xc1/0x190
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
============OTHER_INFO============
btrfs_write_check+0xa15/0x1390 [btrfs]
btrfs_buffered_write+0x52f/0x29d0 [btrfs]
btrfs_do_write_iter+0x53d/0x1590 [btrfs]
btrfs_file_write_iter+0x41/0x60 [btrfs]
aio_write+0x41e/0x5f0
io_submit_one+0xd42/0x1ce0
__se_sys_io_submit+0xb3/0x250
do_syscall_64+0xc1/0x190
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

To address this issue, it is recommended to add WRITE_ONCE
and READ_ONCE when reading or writing the `inode->i_ctime_sec`
and `inode->i_ctime_nsec` variable.
