rcu: Add WRITE_ONCE() to rcu_node ->boost_tasks
The rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks field is read locklessly, so this commit adds the WRITE_ONCE() to an update in order to provide proper documentation and READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairing. This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting due to failure being unlikely. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
