kernel: optimise seqlock

Add branch annotations for seqlock read fastpath, and introduce
__read_seqcount_begin and __read_seqcount_end functions, that can avoid the
smp_rmb() if used carefully. These will be used by store-free path walking
algorithm performance is critical and seqlocks are in use.
