If left plain, using __READ_ONCE and __WRITE_ONCE will result in many
false positives with KCSAN due to being instrumented normally. To fix,
we should move the kcsan_check and data_race into __*_ONCE.

A proposal to fix the problem with __READ_ONCE/__WRITE_ONCE and KCSAN
false positives.

Will, please feel free to take this patch and fiddle with it until it
looks like what you want if this is completely off.

Note: Currently __WRITE_ONCE_SCALAR seems to serve no real purpose. Do
we still need it?
