Subject: [PATCH v2 net 00/12] sysctl: Fix data-races around ipv4_table.

A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance
of data-race.  So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to
avoid load/store-tearing.

The first half of this series changes some proc handlers used in ipv4_table
to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the
sysctl side.  Then, the second half adds READ_ONCE() to the other readers
of ipv4_table.

Changes:
  v2:
    * Drop some changes that makes backporting difficult
      * First cleanup patch
      * Lockless helpers and .proc_handler changes
    * Drop the tracing part for .sysctl_mem
      * Steve already posted a fix
    * Drop int-to-bool change for cipso
      * Should be posted to net-next later
    * Drop proc_dobool() change
      * Can be included in another series
