Subject: [PATCH net] net/packet: annotate data race in packet_sendmsg()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

There is a known race in packet_sendmsg(), addressed
in commit 32d3182cd2cd ("net/packet: fix race in tpacket_snd()")

Now we have data_race(), we can use it to avoid a future KCSAN warning,
as syzbot loves stressing af_packet sockets :)
