[PATCH RFC] timekeeping: don't use seqcount loop in ktime_mono_to_any on 64-bit arch

[Jeff Layton]

ktime_mono_to_any only fetches the offset inside the loop. This is a
single word on 64-bit arch, and seqcount_read_begin implies a full SMP
barrier. While we do want to use the latest offset value available, a
full seqcount loop is overkill on 64-bit, where there is no possibility
of torn reads. Just do a READ_ONCE for that and don't bother with the
seqcount.
