tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen.
[ Upstream commit 1330ffacd05fc9ac4159d19286ce119e22450ed2 ]
While reading sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
Fixes: f672258391b4 ("tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filter")
