6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 710f5c76580306cdb9ec51fac8fcf6a8faff7821 ]

We have an increasing number of READ_ONCE(xxx->function)
combined with INDIRECT_CALL_[1234]() helpers.

Unfortunately this forces INDIRECT_CALL_[1234]() to read
xxx->function many times, which is not what we wanted.

Fix these macros so that xxx->function value is not reloaded.
