[PATCH v4 18/22] kasan: remove atomic accesses to stack ring entries

[andrey . konovalov]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove the atomic accesses to entry fields in save_stack_info and
kasan_complete_mode_report_info for tag-based KASAN modes.

These atomics are not required, as the read/write lock prevents the
entries from being read (in kasan_complete_mode_report_info) while being
written (in save_stack_info) and the try_cmpxchg prevents the same entry
from being rewritten (in save_stack_info) in the unlikely case of wrapping
during writing.
