seqlock: Reorder seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions
The seqlock.h seqcount_t and seqlock_t API definitions are presented in the chronological order of their development rather than the order that makes most sense to readers. This makes it hard to follow and understand the header file code. Group and reorder all of the exported seqlock.h functions according to their function. First, group together the seqcount_t standard read path functions: - __read_seqcount_begin() - raw_read_seqcount_begin() - read_seqcount_begin() since each function is implemented exactly in terms of the one above it. Then, group the special-case seqcount_t readers on their own as: - raw_read_seqcount() - raw_seqcount_begin() since the only difference between the two functions is that the second one masks the sequence counter LSB while the first one does not. Note that raw_seqcount_begin() can actually be implemented in terms of raw_read_seqcount(), which will be done in a follow-up commit. Then, group the seqcount_t write path functions, instead of injecting unrelated seqcount_t latch functions between them, and order them as: - raw_write_seqcount_begin() - raw_write_seqcount_end() - write_seqcount_begin_nested() - write_seqcount_begin() - write_seqcount_end() - raw_write_seqcount_barrier() - write_seqcount_invalidate() which is the expected natural order. This also isolates the seqcount_t latch functions into their own area, at the end of the sequence counters section, and before jumping to the next one: sequential locks (seqlock_t). Do a similar grouping and reordering for seqlock_t "locking" readers vs. the "conditionally locking or lockless" ones. No implementation code was changed in any of the reordering above.
