Marco Elver 106a307fd0 kcsan: Skew delay to be longer for certain access types
For compound instrumentation and assert accesses, skew the watchpoint
delay to be longer if randomized. This is useful to improve race
detection for such accesses.

For compound accesses we should increase the delay as we've aggregated
both read and write instrumentation. By giving up 1 call into the
runtime, we're less likely to set up a watchpoint and thus less likely
to detect a race. We can balance this by increasing the watchpoint
delay.

For assert accesses, we know these are of increased interest, and we
wish to increase our chances of detecting races for such checks.

Note that, kcsan_udelay_{task,interrupt} define the upper bound delays.
When randomized, delays are uniformly distributed between [0, delay].
Skewing the delay does not break this promise as long as the defined
upper bounds are still adhered to. The current skew results in delays
uniformly distributed between [delay/2, delay].
