pid_namespace: avoid optimization of accesses to ->child_reaper
To avoid potential problems related to cpu/compiler optimizations around
->child_reaper, let's use WRITE_ONCE (additional to task_list lock)
everywhere we write it and use READ_ONCE where we read it without
explicit lock. Note: It also pairs with existing READ_ONCE with no lock
in nsfs_fh_to_dentry().
Also let's add ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER before write to identify to KCSAN
that we don't expect any concurrent ->child_reaper modifications, and
those must be detected.
