KCSAN reports:

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in do_raw_write_lock / do_raw_write_lock

write (marked) to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1102 on cpu 1:
 do_raw_write_lock+0x120/0x204
 _raw_write_lock_irq
 do_exit
 call_usermodehelper_exec_async
 ret_from_fork

read to 0xffff800009cf504c of 4 bytes by task 1103 on cpu 0:
 do_raw_write_lock+0x88/0x204
 _raw_write_lock_irq
 do_exit
 call_usermodehelper_exec_async
 ret_from_fork

value changed: 0xffffffff -> 0x00000001

CPU: 0 PID: 1103 Comm: kworker/u4:1 6.1.111

Commit 1a365e822372 ("locking/spinlock/debug: Fix various data races") has
adressed most of these races, but seems to be not consistent/not complete.

From do_raw_write_lock() only debug_write_lock_after() part has been
converted to WRITE_ONCE(), but not debug_write_lock_before() part.
Do it now.
