Read to lru_add_pvec->nr could be interrupted and then write to the same
variable. The write has local interrupt disabled, but the plain reads
result in data races. However, it is unlikely the compilers could
do much damage here given that lru_add_pvec->nr is a "unsigned char" and
there is an existing compiler barrier. Thus, annotate the reads using the
data_race() macro. The data races were reported by KCSAN,

BTW, while at it, I had also looked at other pagevec there, but could
not tell for sure if they could be interrupted resulting in data races,
so I leave them out for now.
