Subject: [PATCH] rxrpc_find_service_conn_rcu: use read_seqbegin() rather than
 read_seqbegin_or_lock()

read_seqbegin_or_lock() makes no sense unless you make "seq" odd
after the lockless access failed. See thread_group_cputime() as
an example, note that it does nextseq = 1 for the 2nd round.

So this code can use read_seqbegin() without changing the current
behaviour.
