[PATCH v5 1/2] compiler, atomics: Provide READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()

[Andrey Ryabinin]

Some code may perform racy by design memory reads. This could be
harmless, yet such code may produce KASAN warnings.

To hide such accesses from KASAN this patch introduces
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() macro. KASAN will not check the memory
accessed by READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(). The KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN)
is going to ignore it as well.

This patch creates __read_once_size_nocheck() a clone of
__read_once_size(). The only difference between them is
'no_sanitized_address' attribute appended to '*_nocheck' function.
This attribute tells the compiler that instrumentation of memory
accesses should not be applied to that function. We declare it as
static '__maybe_unsed' because GCC is not capable to inline such
function: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67368

With KASAN=n READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() is just a clone of READ_ONCE().
