Qi Xi c38998ed0e once: fix race by moving DO_ONCE to separate section
[ Upstream commit edcc8a38b5ac1a3dbd05e113a38a25b937ebefe5 ]

The commit c2c60ea37e ("once: use __section(".data.once")") moved
DO_ONCE's ___done variable to .data.once section, which conflicts with
DO_ONCE_LITE() that also uses the same section.

This creates a race condition when clear_warn_once is used:

Thread 1 (DO_ONCE)             Thread 2 (DO_ONCE)
__do_once_start
    read ___done (false)
    acquire once_lock
execute func
__do_once_done
    write ___done (true)      __do_once_start
    release once_lock             // Thread 3 clear_warn_once reset ___done
                                  read ___done (false)
                                  acquire once_lock
                              execute func
schedule once_work            __do_once_done
once_deferred: OK             write ___done (true)
static_branch_disable         release once_lock
                              schedule once_work
                              once_deferred:
                                  BUG_ON(!static_key_enabled)

DO_ONCE_LITE() in once_lite.h is used by WARN_ON_ONCE() and other warning
macros. Keep its ___done flag in the .data..once section and allow resetting
by clear_warn_once, as originally intended.

In contrast, DO_ONCE() is used for functions like get_random_once() and
relies on its ___done flag for internal synchronization. We should not reset
DO_ONCE() by clear_warn_once.

Fix it by isolating DO_ONCE's ___done into a separate .data..do_once section,
shielding it from clear_warn_once.
