Within p9_fd_open(), O_NONBLOCK is added to f_flags of the read and
write files. This may happen concurrently if e.g. mounting process
modifies the fd in another thread.

Mark the plain read-modify-writes as intentional data-races, with the
assumption that the result of executing the accesses concurrently will
always result in the same result despite the accesses themselves not
being atomic.

v1 -> v2:
 - reworded comment as discussed
 - adjusted commit subject line to match with other trans_fd patch

(there is no change from the one I sent yesterday, I'm just resending
the whole set properly now there's been feedback on other commits)
