 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in lookup_swap_cache / lookup_swap_cache

 write to 0xffffffff8d717308 of 8 bytes by task 11365 on cpu 87:
   __delete_from_swap_cache+0x681/0x8b0
   __delete_from_swap_cache at mm/swap_state.c:178

 read to 0xffffffff8d717308 of 8 bytes by task 11275 on cpu 53:

   __delete_from_swap_cache at mm/swap_state.c:178

Both the read and write are done as lockless. Since swap_cache_info.*
are only used to print out counter information, even if any of them
missed a few incremental due to data races, it will be harmless, so just
mark it as an intentional data race using the data_race() macro.

While at it, fix a checkpatch.pl warning,

WARNING: Single statement macros should not use a do {} while (0) loop
