tuntap: fix a possible race between queue selection and changing queues
Complier may generate codes that re-read the tun->numqueues during tun_select_queue(). This may be a race if vlan->numqueues were changed in the same time and can lead unexpected result (e.g. very huge value). We need prevent the compiler from generating such codes by adding an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure tun->numqueues were only read once. Bug were introduced by commit c8d68e6be1c3b242f1c598595830890b65cea64a (tuntap: multiqueue support). Reported-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Cc: Michael S.
