[rds-devel] [External] : [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-5.10] rds: annotate data-race around rs_seen_congestion

[ Upstream commit 67636cab273ed0c0b0f2adab6c9369a471cb7966 ]

rs_seen_congestion is read in rds_poll() and written in rds_sendmsg()
and rds_poll() without any lock.  Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to
annotate these lockless accesses and silence KCSAN.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The backport check finished: prepared stable commit `95ef1f3da4846`
(upstream `67636cab273ed`) exists on the `autosel` branch but is not in
current HEAD (`v6.18.44`), where the unannotated `rs_seen_congestion`
accesses are still present. That supports the **YES** backport
recommendation.
