 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
 CPU: 37 PID: 24872 Comm: kworker/u261:2 Tainted: G        W  O L 5.5.0-next-20200204+ #5
 Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 07/10/2019
 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-7:0)

Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the
"i_data_sem"), a load tearing could introduce a logic bug. Fix it by
adding READ_ONCE() for the read.
