Subject: Straggler: Connector: Use this_cpu_operations

The patch was originally in the use cpuops patchset but it needs an
inc_return and is therefore dependant on an extension of the cpu ops.
Fixed up and verified that it compiles.


Subject: Connector: Use this_cpu operations

get_seq can benefit from this_cpu_operations. Address calculation is avoided
and the increment is done using an xadd.
