    seqcount: Add lockdep functionality to seqcount/seqlock structures

    Currently seqlocks and seqcounts don't support lockdep.

    After running across a seqcount related deadlock in the timekeeping
    code, I used a less-refined and more focused variant of this patch
    to narrow down the cause of the issue.

    This is a first-pass attempt to properly enable lockdep functionality
    on seqlocks and seqcounts.

    Since seqcounts are used in the vdso gettimeofday code, I've provided
    non-lockdep accessors for those needs.

    I've also handled one case where there were nested seqlock writers
    and there may be more edge cases.

    Comments and feedback would be appreciated!

    sched_clock: Use seqcount instead of rolling our own

    We're going to increase the cyc value to 64 bits in the near
    future. Doing that is going to break the custom seqcount
    implementation in the sched_clock code because 64 bit numbers
    aren't guaranteed to be atomic. Replace the cyc_copy with a
    seqcount to avoid this problem.
