Subject: [patch] lockdep: fix seqlock_init()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that
lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock.

(this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using
the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.)

This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.
