A page never changes its zone number. The zone number happens to be
stored in the same word as other bits which are modified, but the zone
number bits will never be modified by any other write, so it can accept
a reload of the zone bits after an intervening write and it don't need
to use READ_ONCE(). Thus, annotate this data race using
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() to also assert that there are no concurrent
writes to it.

v2: use ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS().

BTW, not sure if it is easier for Andrew with Paul to pick this up (with
Andrew's ACK), since ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() is in -rcu tree only (or likely
tomorrow's -next tree).
