It might not be obvious to the compiler that the expression must be executed between writing and reading to fail_data. In this case, the compiler might reorder or optimize away some of the accesses, and the tests will fail.
Add compiler barriers around the expression in KUNIT_EXPECT_KASAN_FAIL and use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for accessing fail_data fields.
