Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: tcp_get_info() should fetch socket fields once

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

tcp_get_info() can be called without holding socket lock,
so any socket fields can change under us.

Use READ_ONCE() to fetch sk_pacing_rate and sk_max_pacing_rate

Fixes: 977cb0ecf82e ("tcp: add pacing_rate information into tcp_info")
Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

David, I do not think this needs stable backport, this is a quite
minor bug. I've added the 'Fixes' tag for reference only.
