[PATCH v2] mm: avoid KCSAN false positive in memdesc_nid()

[PATCH v2] mm: avoid KCSAN false positive in memdesc_nid()

[Hui Zhu]

From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@kylinos.cn>

KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_nid() reading
page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing
test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.:

  BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp

The node id occupies a fixed bit-range of page->flags that is set
once at page init and never modified afterwards, so it can never
overlap with the low PG_locked/PG_waiters bits touched by the folio
lock path.

Use ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() in memdesc_nid() to scope the exemption
to just the node-id bits, consistent with how memdesc_zonenum()
already handles the same class of race for the zone-id bits.

Changelog:
v2:
According to the comments of David, remove useless comments and use
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() in memdesc_nid() instead of data_race() in
page_to_nid().
