Thanks for poking.

compiler_types.h appears to be a free-for-all.  It's best to view such
a thing as a KCSAN patch rather than a compiler_types.h patch - that
the patch affects compiler_types.h is incidental.

31f605a308e6 came in via paulmck so convention (which perhaps only I
maintain) says "Paul", but whatever - getting the fix merged is the
important part.

So I'll grab Alan's patch, shall drop if it pops up in -next via a
different route.   Aiming for upstreaming in the next merge window.

It's unclear whether a -stable backport is required.  Thoughts on this
are sought.
