 A set of locking fixes and updates:
 
   - Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various
     situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that
     the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
 
   - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
     above fallout.
 
     seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
     serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per
     CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot
     validate that the lock is held.
 
     This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
     sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
     initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
     writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
     write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the
     lock is held.
 
     Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
     required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is
     unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of
     _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been
     moved up.
 
     Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which
     have been addressed already independent of this.
 
     While generaly useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
     kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the
     writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well
     known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the
     associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and
     changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects
     that a writer is in the write side critical section.
