Subject: [PATCH 4.19 13/41] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_obsolescence_count_initialiser

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

[ Upstream commit cfd9f4a740f772298308b2e6070d2c744fb5cf79 ]

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

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