[PATCH v2 net 02/12] sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec().

[Kuniyuki Iwashima]

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