The easiest solution would be to turn the pointer wrappers into macros that pass through whatever type is passed to them - but the clever maze of seqlock API instantiation macros relies on the GCC CPP '##' macro extension, which isn't recursive, so inline functions must be used here. So create two wrapper variants instead: 'ptr' and 'const_ptr', and pick the right one for the codepaths that are const: read_seqcount_begin() and read_seqcount_retry(). This cleans up type handling and allows the removal of all type forcing. No change in functionality.
