These atomics are not required, as the read/write lock prevents the entries from being read (in kasan_complete_mode_report_info) while being written (in save_stack_info) and the try_cmpxchg prevents the same entry from being rewritten (in save_stack_info) in the unlikely case of wrapping during writing.
