bpf_lru_list: Read double-checked variable once without lock

For double-checked locking in bpf_common_lru_push_free(), node->type is read outside the critical section and then re-checked under the lock. However, concurrent writes to node->type result in data races. For example, the following concurrent access was observed by KCSAN: write to 0xffff88801521bc22 of 1 bytes by task 10038 on cpu 1: __bpf_lru_node_move_in kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:91 __local_list_flush kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:298 ... read to 0xffff88801521bc22 of 1 bytes by task 10043 on cpu 0: bpf_common_lru_push_free kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:507 bpf_lru_push_free kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:555 ... Fix the data races where node->type is read outside the critical section (for double-checked locking) by marking the access with READ_ONCE() as well as ensuring the variable is only accessed once.
