Subject: [PATCH 5.4 30/77] net: Fix a data-race around sysctl_net_busy_poll.

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

[ Upstream commit c42b7cddea47503411bfb5f2f93a4154aaffa2d9 ]

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

Fixes: 060212928670 ("net: add low latency socket poll")
