Hmm, it seems to me that we need multiple patches (which would become too big to
backport) for fixing this bug.

First step (which Dmitry mentioned) is to avoid potential NULL pointer dereferences
caused by

  if (!f_op->$callbackname) {
    return error;
  }
  return f_op->$callbackname($args);

pattern, for the next step will touch too many locations to change all at once whereas
the first step could be handled by implementing dummy function for all missing $callbackname.

Next step is to convert from

  if (!f_op->$callbackname) {
    return error;
  }
  return f_op->$callbackname($args);

to

  fn = READ_ONCE(f_op->$callbackname);
  if (!fn) {
    return error;
  }
  return fn($args);

pattern.

Last step is to silence KCSAN by wrapping READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() using data_race() macro.
Each data_race() usage wants a comment, thus would want a macro if possible...
