Subject: [PATCH 4.14 13/42] ratelimit: Fix data-races in ___ratelimit().

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

[ Upstream commit 6bae8ceb90ba76cdba39496db936164fa672b9be ]

While reading rs->interval and rs->burst, they can be changed
concurrently via sysctl (e.g. net_ratelimit_state).  Thus, we
need to add READ_ONCE() to their readers.

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