[PATCH 10/12] powerpc: powernv: Annotate data races in opal events

The kopald thread handles opal events as they appear, but by polling a
static bit-vector in last_outstanding_events. Annotate these data races
accordingly. We are not at risk of missing events, but use of READ_ONCE,
WRITE_ONCE will assist readers in seeing that kopald only consumes the
events it is aware of when it is scheduled. Also removes extraneous
KCSAN warnings.
