From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

blkg_rwstat_recursive_sum() reads pos_blkg->online without the queue
lock that its doc comment requires, since blkcg_print_blkgs() stopped
holding it in 56cc24f59c14.  Concurrent blkg_create/destroy flips
->online, tripping KCSAN.  The race is harmless (RCU-protected, stale
online only causes minor stat noise).  Use data_race() to annotate
the intentional lockless read.
