Subject: [PATCH 5.4 30/71] ipv4: Fix a data-race around sysctl_fib_sync_mem.

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

[ Upstream commit 73318c4b7dbd0e781aaababff17376b2894745c0 ]

While reading sysctl_fib_sync_mem, it can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid a data-race.

Fixes: 9ab948a91b2c ("ipv4: Allow amount of dirty memory from fib resizing to be controllable")
