[PATCH v4 02/17] sched_clock: Use seqcount instead of rolling our own

[sboyd@codeaurora.org (Stephen Boyd)]

We're going to increase the cyc value to 64 bits in the near
future. Doing that is going to break the custom seqcount
implementation in the sched_clock code because 64 bit numbers
aren't guaranteed to be atomic. Replace the cyc_copy with a
seqcount to avoid this problem.
