[PATCH 5.4 23/51] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_link_fails_count

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bc76645ebdd01be9b9994dac39685a3d0f6f7985 ]

We need to protect the reader reading the sysctl value because the
value can be changed concurrently.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
