    rfs: annotate lockless accesses to RFS sock flow table
    
    [ Upstream commit 5c3b74a92aa285a3df722bf6329ba7ccf70346d6 ]
    
    Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.
    
    This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:
    
    if (table->ents[index] != newval)
            table->ents[index] = newval;
    
    We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.
