Subject: [PATCH 5.4 29/71] icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl.

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@...zon.com>

[ Upstream commit 48d7ee321ea5182c6a70782aa186422a70e67e22 ]

While reading icmp sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races.

Fixes: 4cdf507d5452 ("icmp: add a global rate limitation")
