Subject[PATCH] x86/efi: mark racy access on efi_rts_work.efi_rts_id
Date
In efi_crash_gracefully_on_page_fault(), efi_rts_work.efi_rts_id can by
changed by other thread from the comment. Mark possible data race on
efi_rts_work.efi_rts_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.
