Subject: [PATCH 5.4 24/34] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_comp_sack_nr.

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

[ Upstream commit 79f55473bfc8ac51bd6572929a679eeb4da22251 ]

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

Fixes: 9c21d2fc41c0 ("tcp: add tcp_comp_sack_nr sysctl")
