Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/percpu: Fix this_cpu_read()

Eric reported that a sequence count loop using this_cpu_read() got
optimized out. This is wrong, this_cpu_read() must imply READ_ONCE()
because the interface is IRQ-safe, therefore an interrupt can have
changed the per-cpu value.

Fixes: 59eaef78bfea ("x86/tsc: Remodel cyc2ns to use seqcount_latch()")
