Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 2/3] r8169: fix the KCSAN reported data race in rtl_rx while reading desc->opts1

KCSAN reported the following data-race bug:

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rtl8169_poll (drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c:4430 drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c:4583) r8169

   4435                  * any other fields out of the Rx descriptor until
   4436                  * we know the status of DescOwn
   4437                  */
   4438                 dma_rmb();
   4439
   4440                 if (unlikely(status & RxRES)) {
   4441                         if (net_ratelimit())
   4442                                 netdev_warn(dev, "Rx ERROR. status = %08x\n",

Marco Elver explained that dma_rmb() doesn't prevent the compiler to tear up the access to
desc->opts1 which can be written to concurrently. READ_ONCE() should prevent that from
happening:

   4429
 → 4430                 status = le32_to_cpu(READ_ONCE(desc->opts1));
   4431                 if (status & DescOwn)
   4432                         break;
   4433

As the consequence of this fix, this KCSAN warning was eliminated.
