compiler.h: Remove data_race() and unnecessary checks from {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()

The volatile accesses no longer need to be wrapped in data_race()
because compilers that emit instrumentation distinguishing volatile
accesses are required for KCSAN.

Consequently, the explicit kcsan_check_atomic*() are no longer required
either since the compiler emits instrumentation distinguishing the
volatile accesses.

Finally, simplify __READ_ONCE_SCALAR() and remove __WRITE_ONCE_SCALAR().
