mm: annotate data-race in cpu_needs_drain()

Browse source

KCSAN reports a data-race when cpu_needs_drain() reads another CPU's
per-cpu folio_batch->nr without locking, while the owning CPU writes to it
via folio_batch_add().

Reading a slightly stale value is harmless -- cpu_needs_drain() only
decides whether to schedule a drain, and the next iteration of
__lru_add_drain_all() will re-check.  Use data_race() to annotate the
intentional race.
