Peter Zijlstra c4bfa3f5f9 seqcount: Introduce raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
Introduce raw_write_seqcount_barrier(), a new construct that can be
used to provide write barrier semantics in seqcount read loops instead
of the usual consistency guarantee.

raw_write_seqcount_barier() is equivalent to:

	raw_write_seqcount_begin();
	raw_write_seqcount_end();

But avoids issueing two back-to-back smp_wmb() instructions.

This construct works because the read side will 'stall' when observing
odd values. This means that -- referring to the example in the comment
below -- even though there is no (matching) read barrier between the
loads of X and Y, we cannot observe !x && !y, because:

 - if we observe Y == false we must observe the first sequence
   increment, which makes us loop, until

 - we observe !(seq & 1) -- the second sequence increment -- at which
   time we must also observe T == true.
