[PATCH 5.16 0757/1017] rcu: Mark writes to the rcu_segcblist structures ->flags field

[ Upstream commit c09929031018913b5783872a8b8cdddef4a543c7 ]

KCSAN reports data races between the rcu_segcblist_clear_flags() and
rcu_segcblist_set_flags() functions, though misreporting the latter
as a call to rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() from call_rcu(). This commit
converts the updates of this field to WRITE_ONCE(), relying on the
resulting unmarked reads to continue to detect buggy concurrent writes
to this field.
