Subject: mm/swap.c: annotate data races for lru_rotate_pvecs
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,
