From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f1fb205efb0ccca55626fd4ef38570dd16b44719 ] seqno could be read as a stale value outside of the lock. The lock is already acquired to protect the modification of seqno against a possible race condition. Place the reading of this value also inside this locking to protect it against a possible race condition.
