Subject: [PATCH] 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 ]
