Subject: [PATCH 5.4 49/87] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts.

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

[ Upstream commit 7c6f2a86ca590d5187a073d987e9599985fb1c7c ]

While reading sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts, it can be changed
concurrently.  Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Fixes: 36e31b0af587 ("net: TCP thin linear timeouts")
