Huh, new one on me! When I run KCSAN, I set CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y,
which implies CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY=n, which should
prevent skip_report() from even being invoked.

Which suggests that in the rest of the kernel, including "rcu_"
in your function name gets you stricter KCSAN checking. ;-)
