Subject: [RFC 3/3] sched: depend on 64BIT_ATOMIC_ACCESS to determine if to use min_vruntime_copy

 'min_vruntime_copy' is copied when 'min_vruntime' is updated for cfq_rq
and used to check if updating 'min_vruntime' is completed on reader side.
 Because 'min_vruntime' variable is 64bit, we need a mimic of seqlock to
check if the variable is not being updated on 32bit machines.

 On 64BIT_ATOMIC_ACCESS enabled machines, 64bit accesses are atomic even
though the machines are 32bit, so we can directly access 'min_vruntime'
on the architectures.

 Depend on CONFIG_64BIT_ATOMIC_ACCESS instead of CONFIG_64BIT to determine
whether 'min_vruntime_copy' variable is used for synchronization or not.
And align 'min_vruntime' by 8 if 64BIT_ATOMIC_ALIGNED_ACCESS is true
because 64BIT_ATOMIC_ALIGNED_ACCESS enabled system can access the variable
atomically only when it' aligned.
