[PATCH v2 1/2] rwonce: Add READ_ONCE_THIS_CPU() and WRITE_ONCE_THIS_CPU()

[Kunwu Chan]

Per-CPU variables are sometimes accessed from different execution
contexts on the same CPU, typically task context and an interrupt or
NMI handler.

A plain READ_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() marks such an access as an
intentional race but does not express where the racing accesses are
expected to come from. This distinction allows concurrency tools such
as KCSAN to tell an intentional same-CPU context race apart from an
access that may race across CPUs.

Add READ_ONCE_THIS_CPU() and WRITE_ONCE_THIS_CPU() to identify accesses
to a per-CPU variable which are intended to race only with accesses
from other execution contexts on the same CPU. For now, they are
simple wrappers around READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), so generated code
and tool behaviour are unchanged.
