Subject[PATCH] netfilter: mark racy access on ext->gen_id
Date
In __nf_ct_ext_find(), ext->gen_id can be changed by 
nf_ct_ext_valid_post(), using WRITE_ONCE. Mark data races on ext->gen_id
as benign using READ_ONCE.

This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by
KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.
