PATCH 1/1 mm/kmemleak: silence KCSAN splats in checksum

Even if KCSAN is disabled for kmemleak, update_checksum() could still call crc32() (which is outside of kmemleak.c) to dereference object->pointer. Thus, the value of object->pointer could be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in crc32_le_base / do_raw_spin_lock

write to 0xffffb0ea683a7d50 of 4 bytes by task 23575 on cpu 12:

If a shattered value was returned due to a data race, it will be corrected in the next scan. Thus, let KCSAN ignore all reads in the region to silence KCSAN in case the write side is non-atomic.
