[PATCH v2 04/11] powerpc: Mark [h]ssr_valid accesses in check_return_regs_valid

Checks to see if the [H]SRR registers have been clobbered by (soft)
NMI interrupts imply the possibility for a data race on the
[h]srr_valid entries in the PACA. Annotate accesses to these fields with
READ_ONCE, removing the need for the barrier.

The diagnostic can use plain-access reads and writes, but annotate with
data_race.
