kcsan: Introduce __data_racy type qualifier

Browse source 
This commit adds a __data_racy type qualifier that enables kernel
 developers to inform KCSAN that a given variable is a shared variable
 without needing to mark each and every access.  This allows pre-KCSAN
 code to be correctly (if approximately) instrumented withh very little
 effort, and also provides people reading the code a clear indication that
 the variable is in fact shared.  In addition, it permits incremental
 transition to per-access KCSAN marking, so that (for example) a given
 subsystem can be transitioned one variable at a time, while avoiding
 large numbers of KCSAN warnings during this transition.

behaviour when encountering a data race is deemed safe. Please see
`"Marking Shared-Memory Accesses" in the LKMM`_ for more information.
* Similar to ``data_race(...)``, the type qualifier ``__data_racy`` can be used
to document that all data races due to accesses to a variable are intended
and should be ignored by KCSAN::
struct foo {
...
int __data_racy stats_counter;
...
};
* Disabling data race detection for entire functions can be accomplished by
using the function attribute ``__no_kcsan``::
