Subject: [PATCH 5.4 51/87] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_retrans_collapse.

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

[ Upstream commit 1a63cb91f0c2fcdeced6d6edee8d1d886583d139 ]

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

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
