Subject: [PATCH 4.19 15/41] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_timeout

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

[ Upstream commit 60a7a152abd494ed4f69098cf0f322e6bb140612 ]

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

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