mm/kmemleak: silence KCSAN splats in checksum
Even if KCSAN is disabled for kmemleak, update_checksum() could still call crc32() (which is outside of kmemleak.c) to dereference object->pointer. Thus, the value of object->pointer could be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN, BUG: KCSAN: data-race in crc32_le_base / do_raw_spin_lock write to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 23575 on cpu 12: do_raw_spin_lock+0x114/0x200 debug_spin_lock_after at kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:91 (inlined by) do_raw_spin_lock at kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:115 _raw_spin_lock+0x40/0x50 __handle_mm_fault+0xa9e/0xd00 handle_mm_fault+0xfc/0x2f0 do_page_fault+0x263/0x6f9 page_fault+0x34/0x40 read to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 839 on cpu 60: crc32_le_base+0x67/0x350 crc32_le_base+0x67/0x350: crc32_body at lib/crc32.c:106 (inlined by) crc32_le_generic at lib/crc32.c:179 (inlined by) crc32_le at lib/crc32.c:197 kmemleak_scan+0x528/0xd90 update_checksum at mm/kmemleak.c:1172 (inlined by) kmemleak_scan at mm/kmemleak.c:1497 kmemleak_scan_thread+0xcc/0xfa kthread+0x1e0/0x200 ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50 If a shattered value was returned due to a data race, it will be corrected in the next scan. Thus, let KCSAN ignore all reads in the region to silence KCSAN in case the write side is non-atomic.
