Subject: [PATCH] tomoyo: Use atomic_t for statistics counter
Git-commit: a8772fad0172aeae339144598b809fd8d4823331
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
References: git-fixes

syzbot is reporting that there is a race at tomoyo_stat_update() [1].
Although it is acceptable to fail to track exact number of times policy
was updated, convert to atomic_t because this is not a hot path.
