BUG: KCSAN: data-race in osq_lock / osq_unlock

write (marked) to 0xffff8bb2f1abbe40 of 8 bytes by task 1138 on cpu 44:
osq_lock+0x149/0x340 kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:143
__mutex_lock+0x277/0xd20 kernel/locking/mutex.c:657
mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40

__x64_sys_newfstat+0x3a/0x50
do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

read to 0xffff8bb2f1abbe40 of 8 bytes by task 1150 on cpu 29:
osq_unlock+0xee/0x170 kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:78
__mutex_lock+0xb68/0xd20 kernel/locking/mutex.c:686
mutex_lock_nested+0x31/0x40
kernfs_iop_getattr+0x58/0x90

__x64_sys_newfstat+0x3a/0x50
do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

This is a false positive. Since even if that load is shattered the code
will function correctly -- it checks for any !0 value, any byte
composite that is !0 is sufficient. Hence, mark it as an intentional
data race using the data_race() macro.
