seqlock: PREEMPT_RT: Do not starve seqlock_t writers
On PREEMPT_RT, seqlock_t is transformed to a sleeping lock that do not disable preemption. A seqlock_t reader can thus preempt its write side section and spin for the enter scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will livelock. To break this livelock possibility on PREEMPT_RT, implement seqlock_t in terms of "seqcount_spinlock_t" instead of plain "seqcount_t". Beside its pure annotational value, this will leverage the existing seqcount_LOCKNAME_T PREEMPT_RT anti-livelock mechanisms, without adding any extra code. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
