fork: annotate data race in copy_process()

Browse Source 
KCSAN reported data race reading and writing nr_threads and max_threads.
The data race is intentional and benign. This is obvious from the comment
above it and based on general consensus when discussing this issue. So
there's no need for any heavy atomic or *_ONCE() machinery here.

In accordance with the newly introduced data_race() annotation consensus,
mark the offending line with data_race(). Here it's actually useful not
just to silence KCSAN but to also clearly communicate that the race is
intentional. This is especially helpful since nr_threads is otherwise
protected by tasklist_lock.

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in copy_process / copy_process
