sysctl: Fix data races in proc_doulongvec_minmax().
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2149949 Upstream Status: linux.git commit c31bcc8f Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com> Date: Wed Jul 6 16:39:56 2022 -0700 sysctl: Fix data races in proc_doulongvec_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_doulongvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_doulongvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
