The automatic CPU-intensive work item detection reads the worker task's
se.sum_exec_runtime without a lock in wq_worker_running(),
wq_worker_tick() and process_one_work(). The scheduler updates that
field under the rq lock (from the tick via update_curr(), or cross-CPU
via task_sched_runtime()), raising:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in wq_worker_running+0xa8/0xe8
race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff0009a11d1df8 of 8 bytes by task 238535 on cpu 68:
wq_worker_running
schedule
schedule_preempt_disabled
__mutex_lock
mutex_lock_nested
cgroup_bpf_release
process_one_work
worker_thread
kthread
ret_from_fork
value changed: 0x0000000088482ba0 -> 0x00000000884893c0
The value only feeds a heuristic, so the race is benign-ish. Unlike
commit ecf5aad9a4 ("workqueue: annotate racy PWQ_STAT_CPU_TIME update
in wq_worker_tick()") that only needs data_race(), these are plain reads
whose result drives a subtraction and comparison, so use READ_ONCE() for
a single, non-torn load, which also silences KCSAN.
