Subject: [PATCH 4.8 22/35] ipv4: use the right lock for ping_group_range

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit 396a30cce15d084b2b1a395aa6d515c3d559c674 ]

This reverts commit a681574c99be23e4d20b769bf0e543239c364af5
("ipv4: disable BH in set_ping_group_range()") because we never
read ping_group_range in BH context (unlike local_port_range).

Then, since we already have a lock for ping_group_range, those
using ip_local_ports.lock for ping_group_range are clearly typos.

We might consider to share a same lock for both ping_group_range
and local_port_range w.r.t. space saving, but that should be for
net-next.

Fixes: a681574c99be ("ipv4: disable BH in set_ping_group_range()")
Fixes: ba6b918ab234 ("ping: move ping_group_range out of CONFIG_SYSCTL")
