Subject: [PATCH 5.15 39/69] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_invalid_ratelimit.

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

[ Upstream commit 2afdbe7b8de84c28e219073a6661080e1b3ded48 ]

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

Fixes: 032ee4236954 ("tcp: helpers to mitigate ACK loops by rate-limiting out-of-window dupacks")
