pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd(). Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races. Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway). The data races were reported by KCSAN,
