Subject: [PATCH 5.15 19/69] tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save.

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

commit ab1ba21b523ab496b1a4a8e396333b24b0a18f9a upstream.

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

Fixes: 65e6d90168f3 ("net-tcp: Disable TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default")
