    sched: Snapshot thread flags

    Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are
    disabled, the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is
    unlikely to cause a problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and
    KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data race.

    To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
    using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

    Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

    The READ_ONCE(ti->flags) .. cmpxchg(ti->flags) loop in set_nr_if_polling()
    is left as-is for clarity.
