[ Upstream commit a24c1aab652ebacf9ea62470a166514174c96fe1 ]
The rcu_data structure's ->rcu_cpu_has_work field can be modified by
any CPU attempting to wake up the rcuc kthread. Therefore, this commit
marks accesses to this field from the rcu_cpu_kthread() function.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
