btrfs: fix data race when accessing the last_trans field of a root



KCSAN complains about a data race when accessing the last_trans field of a
root:

This is because we update and read last_trans concurrently without any
type of synchronization. This should be generally harmless and in the
worst case it can make us do extra locking (btrfs_record_root_in_trans())
trigger some warnings at ctree.c or do extra work during relocation - this
would probably only happen in case of load or store tearing.

So fix this by always reading and updating the field using READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE(), this silences KCSAN and prevents load and store tearing.
