locking/osq_lock: Annotate a data race in osq_lock

The prev->next pointer can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN:

 write (marked) to 0xffff9d3370dbbe40 of 8 bytes by task 3294 on cpu 107:
  osq_lock+0x25f/0x350
  osq_wait_next at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:79
  (inlined by) osq_lock at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:185
  rwsem_optimistic_spin
  <snip>

 read to 0xffff9d3370dbbe40 of 8 bytes by task 3398 on cpu 100:
  osq_lock+0x196/0x350
  osq_lock at kernel/locking/osq_lock.c:157
  rwsem_optimistic_spin
  <snip>

Since the write only stores NULL to prev->next and the read tests if
prev->next equals to this_cpu_ptr(&osq_node). Even if the value is
shattered, the code is still working correctly. Thus, mark it as an
intentional data race using the data_race() macro.
