Subject: [PATCH 4.19 07/32] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_frto.

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

commit 706c6202a3589f290e1ef9be0584a8f4a3cc0507 upstream.

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

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