x86/mm/pat: Mark an intentional data race
cpa_4k_install could be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,
read to 0xffffffffaa59a000 of 8 bytes by interrupt on cpu 7:
cpa_inc_4k_install arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c:131 [inline]
__change_page_attr+0x10cf/0x1840 arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c:1514

write to 0xffffffffaa59a000 of 8 bytes by task 1 on cpu 6:
cpa_inc_4k_install arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c:131 [inline]
__change_page_attr+0x10ea/0x1840 arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c:1514

kernel_map_pages include/linux/mm.h:2719 [inline] <snip>
Both accesses are due to the same "cpa_4k_install++" in
cpa_inc_4k_install. A data race here could be potentially undesirable:
depending on compiler optimizations or how x86 executes a non-LOCK'd
increment, it may lose increments, corrupt the counter, etc. Since this
counter only seems to be used for printing some stats, this data race
itself is unlikely to cause harm to the system though. Thus, mark this
intentional data race using the data_race() marco.
