seqcount: Provide raw_read_seqcount()
raw_read_seqcount opens a read critical section of the given seqcount without any lockdep checking and without checking or masking the LSB. Calling code is responsible for handling that. Preparatory patch to provide a NMI safe clock monotonic accessor function.
