Qian Cai b73c744019 mm/vmscan.c: fix data races using kswapd_classzone_idx
[ Upstream commit 5644e1fbbf ]

pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx could be accessed concurrently in
wakeup_kswapd().  Plain writes and reads without any lock protection
result in data races.  Fix them by adding a pair of READ|WRITE_ONCE() as
well as saving a branch (compilers might well optimize the original code
in an unintentional way anyway).  While at it, also take care of
pgdat->kswapd_order and non-kswapd threads in allow_direct_reclaim().  The
data races were reported by KCSAN,

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
