kcsan, seqlock: Fix incorrect assumption in read_seqbegin()

[ Upstream commit 183ec5f2 ]

During testing of the preceding changes, I noticed that in some cases,
current->kcsan_ctx.in_flat_atomic remained true until task exit. This is
obviously wrong, because _all_ accesses for the given task will be
treated as atomic, resulting in false negatives i.e. missed data races.

Debugging led to fs/dcache.c, where we can see this usage of seqlock:

	struct dentry *d_lookup(const struct dentry *parent, const struct qstr *name)
	{
		struct dentry *dentry;
		unsigned seq;

		do {
			seq = read_seqbegin(&rename_lock);
			dentry = __d_lookup(parent, name);
			if (dentry)
				break;
		} while (read_seqretry(&rename_lock, seq));
	[...]

As can be seen, read_seqretry() is never called if dentry != NULL;
consequently, current->kcsan_ctx.in_flat_atomic will never be reset to
false by read_seqretry().

Give up on the wrong assumption of "assume closing read_seqretry()", and
rely on the already-present annotations in read_seqcount_begin/retry().
