timers/migration: Annotate accesses to ignore flag

The group's ignore flag is:

_ read under the group's lock (idle entry, remote expiry)
_ turned on/off under the group's lock (idle entry, remote expiry)
_ turned on locklessly on idle exit

When idle entry or remote expiry clear the "ignore" flag of a group, the
operation must be synchronized against other concurrent idle entry or
remote expiry to make sure the related group timer is never missed. To
enforce this synchronization, both "ignore" clear and read are
performed under the group lock.

On the contrary, whether idle entry or remote expiry manage to observe
the "ignore" flag turned on by a CPU exiting idle is a matter of
optimization. If that flag set is missed or cleared concurrently, the
worst outcome is a migrator wasting time remotely handling a "ghost"
timer. This is why the ignore flag can be set locklessly.

Unfortunately, the related lockless accesses are bare and miss
appropriate annotations. KCSAN rightfully complains:

		 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __tmigr_cpu_activate / print_report

		 write to 0xffff88842fc28004 of 1 bytes by task 0 on cpu 0:
		 __tmigr_cpu_activate
		 tmigr_cpu_activate
		 timer_clear_idle
		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
		 tick_nohz_idle_exit
		 do_idle
		 cpu_startup_entry
		 kernel_init
		 do_initcalls
		 clear_bss
		 reserve_bios_regions
		 common_startup_64

		 read to 0xffff88842fc28004 of 1 bytes by task 0 on cpu 1:
		 print_report
		 kcsan_report_known_origin
		 kcsan_setup_watchpoint
		 tmigr_next_groupevt
		 tmigr_update_events
		 tmigr_inactive_up
		 __walk_groups+0x50/0x77
		 walk_groups
		 __tmigr_cpu_deactivate
		 tmigr_cpu_deactivate
		 __get_next_timer_interrupt
		 timer_base_try_to_set_idle
		 tick_nohz_stop_tick
		 tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick
		 cpuidle_idle_call
		 do_idle

Although the relevant accesses could be marked as data_race(), the
"ignore" flag being read several times within the same
tmigr_update_events() function is confusing and error prone. Prefer
reading it once in that function and make use of similar/paired accesses
elsewhere with appropriate comments when necessary.
