If a shattered value was returned due to a data race, it will be corrected in the next scan. scan_block() will dereference a range of addresses (e.g., percpu sections) to search for valid pointers. Even if a data race heppens, it will cause no issue because the code here does not care about the exact value of a non-pointer. Thus, mark them as intentional data races using the data_race() macro.
