cgroup: rstat: Mark benign data race to silence KCSAN

Browse Source 
There is a race between updaters and flushers (flush can possibly miss
the latest update(s)). This is expected as explained in
cgroup_rstat_updated() comment, add also machine readable annotation so
that KCSAN results aren't noisy.
