compiler: Let data_race() imply disabled context analysis

Many patterns that involve data-racy accesses often deliberately ignore
normal synchronization rules to avoid taking a lock.

If we have a lock-guarded variable on which we do a lock-less data-racy
access, rather than having to write context_unsafe(data_race(..)),
simply make the data_race(..) macro imply context-unsafety. The
data_race() macro already denotes the intent that something subtly
unsafe is about to happen, so it should be clear enough as-is.
