Nick Piggin 3c22cd5709 kernel: optimise seqlock
Add branch annotations for seqlock read fastpath, and introduce
__read_seqcount_begin and __read_seqcount_end functions, that can avoid the
smp_rmb() if used carefully. These will be used by store-free path walking
algorithm performance is critical and seqlocks are in use.

/*
* Reader/writer consistent mechanism without starving writers. This type of
* lock for data where the reader wants a consistent set of information
* and is willing to retry if the information changes. Readers never
* block but they may have to retry if a writer is in
* progress. Writers do not wait for readers.
*
* This is not as cache friendly as brlock. Also, this will not work
* for data that contains pointers, because any writer could
* invalidate a pointer that a reader was following.
*
* Expected reader usage:
* do {
* seq = read_seqbegin(&foo);
* ...
* } while (read_seqretry(&foo, seq));
*
*
* On non-SMP the spin locks disappear but the writer still needs
* to increment the sequence variables because an interrupt routine could
* change the state of the data.
*
* Based on x86_64 vsyscall gettimeofday
* by Keith Owens and Andrea Arcangeli
