compiler, atomics, kasan: Provide READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()
Some code may perform racy by design memory reads. This could be
harmless, yet such code may produce KASAN warnings.
To hide such accesses from KASAN this patch introduces
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() macro. KASAN will not check the memory
accessed by READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(). The KernelThreadSanitizer
(KTSAN) is going to ignore it as well.
This patch creates __read_once_size_nocheck() a clone of
__read_once_size(). The only difference between them is
'no_sanitized_address' attribute appended to '*_nocheck'
function. This attribute tells the compiler that instrumentation
of memory accesses should not be applied to that function. We
declare it as static '__maybe_unsed' because GCC is not capable
to inline such function:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67368
With KASAN=n READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() is just a clone of READ_ONCE().
