syzbot complains about the cached sq head read, and it's totally right.
But we don't need to care, it's just reading fdinfo, and reading the
CQ or SQ tail/head entries are known racy in that they are just a view
into that very instant and may of course be outdated by the time they
are reported.

Annotate both the SQ head and CQ tail read with data_race() to avoid
this syzbot complaint.
