From: Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@kylinos.cn>

ipmr_vif_seq_show() and ip6mr_vif_seq_show() read vif->bytes_in,
vif->pkt_in, vif->bytes_out and vif->pkt_out with only rcu_read_lock()
held: since commit b96ef16d2f83 ("ipmr: convert /proc handlers to
rcu_read_lock()") both seq_start helpers are annotated __acquires(RCU)
and no longer take mrt_lock.

Those counters are updated from softirq context and the writers already
use WRITE_ONCE(): ipmr_prepare_xmit() and ip_mr_forward() on the IPv4
side, ip6mr_prepare_xmit() and ip6_mr_forward() on the IPv6 side. The
other lockless readers use READ_ONCE() as well - ipmr_ioctl(),
ipmr_compat_ioctl(), ipmr_fill_vif(), ip6mr_ioctl() and
ip6mr_compat_ioctl().

The two vif_seq_show() helpers are the only remaining bare readers, so
KCSAN flags them and the compiler is free to tear or reload the values
while the /proc/net/ip_mr_vif and /proc/net/ip6_mr_vif lines are being
formatted. Annotate them like the other readers; these are plain
statistics, no locking is needed.

Fixes: b96ef16d2f83 ("ipmr: convert /proc handlers to rcu_read_lock()")
