[PATCH] cgroup: rstat: Mark benign data race to silence KCSAN

[Michal Koutný]

There is a race between updaters and flushers (flush can possibly miss
the latest update(s)). This is expected as explained in
cgroup_rstat_updated() comment, add also machine readable annotation so
that KCSAN results aren't noisy.

Hao was silent in the reporting mail thread, so I'm sending the
suggested annotating patch.
