Subject: [PATCH 3.19-rc2 v15 4/8] sched_clock: Avoid deadlock during read from NMI

Currently it is possible for an NMI (or FIQ on ARM) to come in and
read sched_clock() whilst update_sched_clock() has locked the seqcount
for writing. This results in the NMI handler locking up when it calls
raw_read_seqcount_begin().

This patch fixes that problem by providing banked clock data in a
similar manner to Thomas Gleixner's 4396e058c52e("timekeeping: Provide
fast and NMI safe access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC").

Changing the mode of operation of the seqcount away from the traditional
LSB-means-interrupted-write to a banked approach also revealed a good deal
of "fake" write locking within sched_clock_register(). This is likely
to be a latent issue because sched_clock_register() is typically called
before we enable interrupts. Nevertheless the issue has been eliminated
by increasing the scope of the read locking performed by sched_clock().
