Subject: [patch 1/3] timekeeping: Annotate ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() with data_race()

Accessing timekeeper::offset_boot in ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() is an
intended data race as the reader side cannot synchronize with a writer and
there is no space in struct tk_read_base of the NMI safe timekeeper.

Mark it so.
