Qian Cai 9c1177b62a mm/rmap: annotate a data race at tlb_flush_batched

KCSAN,

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 4 PID: 6364 Comm: mtest01 Tainted: G        W    L 5.5.0-next-20200210+ #5
 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019

flush_tlb_batched_pending() is under PTL but the write is not, but
mm->tlb_flush_batched is only a bool type, so the value is unlikely to be
shattered.  Thus, mark it as an intentional data race by using the data
race macro.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
