seqlock: PREEMPT_RT: Do not starve seqlock_t writers
On PREEMPT_RT, seqlock_t is transformed to a sleeping lock that do not
disable preemption. A seqlock_t reader can thus preempt its write side
section and spin for the enter scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to
a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.
To break this livelock possibility on PREEMPT_RT, implement seqlock_t in
terms of "seqcount_spinlock_t" instead of plain "seqcount_t".
Beside its pure annotational value, this will leverage the existing
seqcount_LOCKNAME_T PREEMPT_RT anti-livelock mechanisms, without adding
any extra code.
