From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
iocg->cursor is read in calc_vtime_cost_builtin() and written per-bio
in ioc_rqos_throttle()/ioc_rqos_merge() without a lock, which trips
KCSAN:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in calc_vtime_cost_builtin / ioc_rqos_throttle
Found via KCSAN (null_blk + sustained IO under CONFIG_KCSAN).
The races are intentional: cursor is a best-effort randio detector, so
stale values only add minor cost-estimate noise. Mark the accesses with
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(), consistent with other racy iocost fields
(active, inuse, abs_vdebt).
