    sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().

    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.

    This patch changes proc_dou8vec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and
    WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side.  For now,
    proc_dou8vec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
    need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.

    Fixes: cb944413 ("sysctl: add proc_dou8vec_minmax()")
