The comments are factored out from the code changes to make them
easier to read. Add them separately to explain some non-obvious
aspects.

KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses. But it does
not see memory accesses done in assembly code. One notable user of assembly code
is atomic operations. Frequently, for example, an atomic reference decrement is
the last access to an object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.
Add manual KASAN checks to atomic operations.
