The approach below looks good to me, but you'll also need to annotate
both tcp_md5_hash_key and tcp_md5_do_add with __no_kcsan or use
data_race(expr) to let the concurrency sanitizer know that there is
a known data race which is there on purpose (triggered by memcpy in tcp_md5_do_add
and somewhere within crypto_ahash_update). See Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst
for details.
