Subject: [PATCH 5.4 34/77] net: Fix a data-race around sysctl_somaxconn.

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

[ Upstream commit 3c9ba81d72047f2e81bb535d42856517b613aba7 ]

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

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