[PATCH -tip 1/2] seqlock: add irqsave variant of read_seqbegin_or_lock

[riel]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are cases where read_seqbegin_or_lock needs to block irqs,
because the seqlock in question nests inside a lock that is also
be taken from irq context.

Add read_seqbegin_or_lock_irqsave and done_seqretry_irqrestore, which
are almost identical to read_seqbegin_or_lock and done_seqretry.
