[PATCH v1] mm: read page_type using READ_ONCE

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

KCSAN complains about possible data races: while we check for a
page_type -- for example for sanity checks -- we might concurrently
modify the mapcount that overlays page_type.

Let's use READ_ONCE to avoid load tearing (shouldn't make a difference)
and to make KCSAN happy.

Likely, we might also want to use WRITE_ONCE for the writer side of
page_type, if KCSAN ever complains about that. But we'll not mess with
that for now.

Note: nothing should really be broken besides wrong KCSAN complaints.
The sanity check that triggers this was added in commit 68f0320824fa
("mm/rmap: convert folio_add_file_rmap_range() into
folio_add_file_rmap_[pte|ptes|pmd]()"). Even before that similar
races likely where possible, ever since we added page_type in
commit 6e292b9be7f4 ("mm: split page_type out from _mapcount").
