rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_node ->boost_tasks
The rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks field is read locklessly, so this
commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper
documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.
