[patch V2 08/16] x86/ioperm: Add bitmap sequence number

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

Add a globally unique sequence number which is incremented when ioperm() is
changing the I/O bitmap of a task. Store the new sequence number in the
io_bitmap structure and compare it along with the actual struct pointer
with the one which was last loaded on a CPU. Only update the bitmap if
either of the two changes. That should further reduce the overhead of I/O
bitmap scheduling when there are only a few I/O bitmap users on the system.
