Here is the alleged fix, and thank you for testing!

commit 571252796c089880b804835f6cfc9c3da3ae8c4f
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

    context_tracking: Use arch_atomic_read() in __ct_state for KASAN
    
    Context tracking's __ct_state() function can be invoked from noinstr state
    where RCU is not watching.  This means that its use of atomic_read()
    causes KASAN to invoke the non-noinstr __kasan_check_read() function
    from the noinstr function __ct_state().  This is problematic because
    someone tracing the __kasan_check_read() function could get a nasty
    surprise because of RCU not watching.
    
    This commit therefore replaces the __ct_state() function's use of
    atomic_read() with arch_atomic_read(), which KASAN does not attempt to
    add instrumention to.
