We need the attached patch, your patch should be reverted, because
unlike local_port_range we never read it in BH context, no need to bother _bh.

Well, we do not change this sysctl very often, so I am not sure why we
need different seqlocks to protect these ranges.

Seems a waste of space really (per netns)

Error prone vs. space saving, it's up to you...

But clearly current code is still broken even after your patch. I will send
a revert + previous typo fix.
