    debugobjects: Fix various data races · 35fd7a63

    The counters obj_pool_free, and obj_nr_tofree, and the flag obj_freeing are
    read locklessly outside the pool_lock critical sections. If read with plain
    accesses, this would result in data races.
    
    This is addressed as follows:
    
     * reads outside critical sections become READ_ONCE()s (pairing with
       WRITE_ONCE()s added);
    
     * writes become WRITE_ONCE()s (pairing with READ_ONCE()s added); since
       writes happen inside critical sections, only the write and not the read
       of RMWs needs to be atomic, thus WRITE_ONCE(var, var +/- X) is
       sufficient.
    
    The data races were reported by KCSAN:
