From: Qian Cai
Date: Wed Jan 29 2020 - 21:53:06 EST
"vm_committed_as.count" could be accessed concurrently as reported by
KCSAN,
read to 0xffffffff923164f8 of 8 bytes by task 1268 on cpu 38:

Since only the read is operating as lockless, fix it by using
READ_ONLY() for it to avoid any possible false warning due to load
tearing.
