A single commit for debug objects which fixes a pile of potential data
races detected by KCSAN.
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:
