drm/v3d: Fix race-condition between sysfs/fdinfo and interrupt handler
In V3D, the conclusion of a job is indicated by a IRQ. When a job finishes, then we update the local and the global GPU stats of that queue. But, while the GPU stats are being updated, a user might be reading the stats from sysfs or fdinfo. For example, on `gpu_stats_show()`, we could think about a scenario where `v3d->queue[queue].start_ns != 0`, then an interrupt happens, we update the value of `v3d->queue[queue].start_ns` to 0, we come back to `gpu_stats_show()` to calculate `active_runtime` and now, `active_runtime = timestamp`. In this simple example, the user would see a spike in the queue usage, that didn't match reality. In order to address this issue properly, use a seqcount to protect read and write sections of the code.
