 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 7 PID: 5422 Comm: gmain Tainted: G        W  O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #6
 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019

The write is under &si->lock, but the read is done as lockless. Since
the read only check for a specific bit in the flag, it is harmless even
if load tearing happens. Thus, just mark it as an intentional data race
using the data_race() macro.
