Subject: [PATCH 5.4 12/34] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes.

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

commit 9fb90193fbd66b4c5409ef729fd081861f8b6351 upstream.

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

Fixes: 46d3ceabd8d9 ("tcp: TCP Small Queues")
