Subject: [PATCH 5.19 080/158] net: Fix a data-race around netdev_unregister_timeout_secs.

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

[ Upstream commit 05e49cfc89e4f325eebbc62d24dd122e55f94c23 ]

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

Fixes: 5aa3afe107d9 ("net: make unregister netdev warning timeout configurable")
