[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.5 404/542] debugobjects: Fix various data races

[ Upstream commit 35fd7a637c42bb54ba4608f4d40ae6e55fc88781 ]

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:
