Subject: [PATCH 6.6 42/60] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_maximum_tries

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

[ Upstream commit e799299aafed417cc1f32adccb2a0e5268b3f6d5 ]

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

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