Summary
sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sysctl: Fix data-races in procdou8vecminmax().

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 procdou8vecminmax() to use READONCE() and WRITEONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, procdou8vecminmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
