Note that, the fact that the writer has local interrupts disabled for
the write is irrelevant because it's the interrupt that triggered
while the read was happening that led to the concurrent write.
I assume you ran this with CONFIG_KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER=y? The
option is disabled by default (see its help-text). I don't know if we
want to deal with data races due to interrupts right now, especially
those that just result in 'data_race' annotations. Thoughts?
