max_nr_stripes is updated under cache_size_mutex in the stripe cache
grow/shrink paths, while is_inactive_blocked() and
raid5_end_read_request() read it without that lock.
Use READ_ONCE() for those reads in lockless path to match the WRITE_ONCE()
updates and avoid KCSAN data race reports.
A similar issue was previously fixed in commit-id:
dfd2bf436709b2bccb78c2dda550dde93700efa7.
Fixes: 0009fad033370 ("raid5 improve too many read errors msg by adding limits")
Fixes: 3514da58be9c4 ("md/raid5: Make is_inactive_blocked() helper")
KCSAN report:
