mm/slub: mark racy accesses on slab->slabs

Browse Source 
The reads of slab->slabs are racy because it may be changed by
put_cpu_partial concurrently. In slabs_cpu_partial_show() and
show_slab_objects(), slab->slabs is only used for showing information.

Data-racy reads from shared variables that are used only for diagnostic
purposes should typically use data_race(), since it is normally not a
problem if the values are off by a little.

This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by
KCSAN in order to focus future debugging effort on harmful races.
