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

The data_race() macro appears to be stuck in Paul's linx-next tree. 
Can we expect this to be mainlined soon, or is there an issue?

I read Paul is trying to get this merged into the mainline no later than v5.7-rc1 or sooner.

OK, thanks.

c48981eeb0d5 clearly can't break anything as it simply adds a macro. 
Ingo, can we please get that upstream soonish?
