Michael S. Tsirkin 83c334ed52 virtio_ring: tag event_triggered as racy for KCSAN ...

Setting event_triggered from the interrupt handler
is fundamentally racy. There are races of 2 types:
1. vq processing can read false value while interrupt
   triggered and set it to true.
   result will be a bit of extra work when disabling cbs, no big deal.

1. vq processing can set false value then interrupt
   immediately sets true value
   since interrupt then triggers a callback which will
   process buffers, this is also not an issue.

However, looks like KCSAN can not figure all this out, and warns about
the race between the write and the read.  Tag the access data_racy for
now.  We should probably look at ways to make this more
straight-forwardly correct.
