Subject: [PATCH 6.1 26/71] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_requested_window_size

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

[ Upstream commit a2e706841488f474c06e9b33f71afc947fb3bf56 ]

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

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