seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as statement expressions

Browse source

The sequence counters read APIs are implemented as CPP macros, so they
can take either seqcount_t or any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
Such macros then get *directly* transformed to internal C functions that
only take plain seqcount_t.

Further commits need access to seqcount_LOCKNAME_t inside of the actual
read APIs code. Thus transform all of the seqcount read APIs to pure GCC
statement expressions instead.

This will not break type-safety: all of the transformed APIs resolve to
a _Generic() selection that does not have a "default" case.

This will also not affect the transformed APIs readability: previously
added kernel-doc above all of seqlock.h functions makes the expectations
quite clear for call-site developers.
