Thanks, Randy.

I think uses of __sync compiler builtins are banned in the kernel, so
here compiling with KCSAN is actually acting as a linter showing us
places where they are used in new code. The hisilicon/sec2 code in
question was only recently added.

hisilicon/sec2 maintainers: please use atomic64_t and atomic64_inc()
for send_cnt and recv_cnt.

Thanks,
