Subject: mm/page_io: mark various intentional data races

The write is under &si->lock, but the reads are done as lockless. Since
the reads only check for a specific bit in the flag, it is harmless even
if load tearing happens. Thus, just mark them as intentional data races
using the data_race() macro.
