posix-timers: Annotate concurrent access to k_itimer:: It_signal
k_itimer::it_signal is read lockless in the RCU protected hash lookup, but it can be written concurrently in the timer_create() and timer_delete() path. Annotate these places with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230425183313.143596887@linutronix.de
