Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/sqpoll: annotate data race for access in debug check

sqd->thread must only be access while holding sqd->lock. In
io_sq_thread_stop, the sqd->thread access to wake up the sq thread is placed
while holding sqd->lock, but the access in debug check is not. As this access if
for debug check only, we can safely ignore the data race here. So we annotate
this access with data_race to silence KCSAN.

The modification of this patch itself is fine, but there are two other things I need to confirm.
1、Does the io_uring_cancel_generic() require the same modification?

I think yes, there is another syzbot's bug report on data race on the io_uring_cancel_generic I'm currently looking at. Here is the link: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=3c750be01dab672c513d

2、It is not holding sqd->lock in io_req_normal_work_add(), is it safe?

This is a valid point, I think we should add lock here too. I will try to write a proof-of-concept to validate this.

Thanks,
Quang Minh.
