Zhongqiu Han 2e2f925fe7 virtio_ring: Fix data race by tagging event_triggered as racy for KCSAN
syzbot reports a data-race when accessing the event_triggered, here is the
simplified stack when the issue occurred:

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in virtqueue_disable_cb / virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed

write to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by task 3288 on cpu 0:
 virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed+0x42/0x3c0 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2653

read to 0xffff8881025bc452 of 1 bytes by interrupt on cpu 1:

 __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x95/0x490 kernel/irq/handle.c:158
 handle_irq_event_percpu kernel/irq/handle.c:193 [inline]

value changed: 0x01 -> 0x00
==================================================================

When the data race occurs, the function virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed() sets
event_triggered to false, and virtqueue_disable_cb_split/packed() reads it
as false due to the race condition. Since event_triggered is an unreliable
hint used for optimization, this should only cause the driver temporarily
suggest that the device not send an interrupt notification when the event
index is used.

Fix this KCSAN reported data-race issue by explicitly tagging the access as
data_racy.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
