[PATCH 1/3] tools/virtio: fix READ_ONCE()

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Thu Nov 24 2016 - 05:27:01 EST


The virtio tools implementation of READ_ONCE() has a single parameter called
'var', but erroneously refers to 'val' for its cast, and thus won't work unless
there's a variable of the correct type that happens to be called 'var'.

Fix this with s/var/val/, making READ_ONCE() work as expected regardless.
