timekeeping: Use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for tick_do_timer_cpu
tick_do_timer_cpu is used lockless to check which CPU needs to take care
of the per tick timekeeping duty. This is done to avoid a thundering
herd problem on jiffies_lock.
The read and writes are not annotated so KCSAN complains about data races:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick / tick_nohz_next_event
write to 0xffffffff8a2bda30 of 4 bytes by task 0 on cpu 26:
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick+0x3b1/0x4a0
do_idle+0x1e3/0x250
read to 0xffffffff8a2bda30 of 4 bytes by task 0 on cpu 16:
tick_nohz_next_event+0xe7/0x1e0
tick_nohz_get_sleep_length+0xa7/0xe0
menu_select+0x82/0xb90
cpuidle_select+0x44/0x60
do_idle+0x1c2/0x250
value changed: 0x0000001a -> 0xffffffff
Annotate them with READ/WRITE_ONCE() to document the intentional data race.
