debugobjects: Fix various data races
The counters obj_pool_free, and obj_nr_tofree, and the flag obj_freeing are read locklessly outside the pool_lock critical sections. If read with plain accesses, this would result in data races. This is addressed as follows: * reads outside critical sections become READ_ONCE()s (pairing with WRITE_ONCE()s added); * writes become WRITE_ONCE()s (pairing with READ_ONCE()s added); since writes happen inside critical sections, only the write and not the read of RMWs needs to be atomic, thus WRITE_ONCE(var, var +/- X) is sufficient. The data races were reported by KCSAN: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __free_object / fill_pool write to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by interrupt on cpu 1: __free_object+0x1ee/0x8e0 lib/debugobjects.c:404 __debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x199/0x330 lib/debugobjects.c:969 debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x3c/0x44 lib/debugobjects.c:994 slab_free_hook mm/slub.c:1422 [inline] read to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by task 1 on ...
