I've been unsuccessful in reproducing this huge, 200+ bytes, difference.
Can I please get the defconfig and GCC version?

Here are the two competing implementations:

noinline void cyc2ns_read_begin_v1(struct cyc2ns_data *data)
{
seqcount_latch_t *seqcount;
int seq, idx;

preempt_disable_notrace();

seqcount = &this_cpu_ptr(&cyc2ns)->seq;
do {
seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(seqcount);
idx = seq & 1;

data->cyc2ns_offset = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_offset);
data->cyc2ns_mul = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_mul);
data->cyc2ns_shift = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_shift);

} while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(seqcount, seq));
}

noinline void cyc2ns_read_begin_v2(struct cyc2ns_data *data)
{
int seq, idx;

preempt_disable_notrace();

do {
seq = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.seq.seqcount.sequence);
idx = seq & 1;

data->cyc2ns_offset = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_offset);
data->cyc2ns_mul = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_mul);
data->cyc2ns_shift = this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.data[idx].cyc2ns_shift);

} while (unlikely(seq != this_cpu_read(cyc2ns.seq.seqcount.sequence)));
}

And here are their resulting gcc-7/8/4.9 binary output (DEBUG_PREEMPT=y,
but setting DEBUG_KERNEL/DEBUG_PREEMPT=n also doesn't show any big _v1
vs. _v2 difference; similarly when using gcc-10):
