tuntap: Fix for a race in accessing numqueues
A patch for fixing a race between queue selection and changing queues was introduced in commit 92bb73ea2("tuntap: fix a possible race between queue selection and changing queues"). The fix was to prevent the driver from re-reading the tun->numqueues more than once within tun_select_queue() using ACCESS_ONCE(). We have been experiancing 'Divide-by-zero' errors in tun_net_xmit() since we moved from 3.6 to 3.10, and believe that they come from a simular source where the value of tun->numqueues changes to zero between the first and a subsequent read of tun->numqueues. The fix is a simular use of ACCESS_ONCE(), as well as a multiply instead of a divide in the if statement.
