Subject: [PATCH 5.10 18/73] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_default_path_quality

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

[ Upstream commit 958d6145a6d9ba9e075c921aead8753fb91c9101 ]

We need to protect the reader reading sysctl_netrom_default_path_quality
because the value can be changed concurrently.

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