In the past, TSAN tests (like the rest of the sanitizers) have been
sensitive to kernel version, config, and sysctl toggles. But I agree
it's a bit odd that these keep flip-flopping (I've seen it too).

I know Jakub plans a libsanitizer sync at some point for trunk, so
probably worth investigating after that happens.
