Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] selftests: lib:test_seqnum_ops: add new test for seqnum_ops

Add a new selftest for testing seqnum_ops. This test loads test_seqnum_ops
test module and unloads it. The test module runs tests and prints results
to dmesg.

Sequence Number api provides interfaces for unsigned atomic up counters
leveraging atomic_t and atomic64_t ops underneath.

There are a number of atomic_t usages in the kernel where atomic_t api
is used for counting sequence numbers and other statistical counters.
Several of these usages, convert atomic_read() and atomic_inc_return()
return values to unsigned. Introducing sequence number ops supports
these use-cases with a standard core-api.

Sequence Number ops provide interfaces to initialize, increment and get
the sequence number. These ops also check for overflow and log message to
indicate when overflow occurs.
