Subject: [PATCH 5.18 118/158] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_early_retrans.

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

[ Upstream commit 52e65865deb6a36718a463030500f16530eaab74 ]

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

Fixes: eed530b6c676 ("tcp: early retransmit")
