Kuniyuki Iwashima 67623d290d sysctl: Fix data races in proc_dointvec_jiffies().
[ Upstream commit e877820877663fbae8cb9582ea597a7230b94df3 ]

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