Subject: [PATCH 5.4 37/87] tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_max_syn_backlog.

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

[ Upstream commit 79539f34743d3e14cc1fa6577d326a82cc64d62f ]

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

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