seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch()
For NMI safe access to clock monotonic we use the seqcount LSB as
index of a timekeeper array. The update sequence looks like this:
smp_wmb(); <- prior stores to a[1]
seq++;
smp_wmb(); <- seq increment before update of a[0]
update(a[0]);
smp_wmb(); <- update of a[0]
seq++;
smp_wmb(); <- seq increment before update of a[1]
update(a[1]);
To avoid open coded barriers, provide a helper function.
[ tglx: Split out of a combo patch against the first implementation of
the NMI safe accessor ]
