KCSAN reports a data race on mm_cluster.hiwater_rss, which can be accessed
concurrently from various paths like page migration and memory unmapping
without synchronization.

Since hiwater_rss is a statistical field for accounting purposes, this
data race is benign.  Annotate both the read and write accesses with
data_race() to make KCSAN happy.
