Subject: seqlock: add raw_seqcount_try_begin
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:44:14 -0800
Add raw_seqcount_try_begin() to opens a read critical section of the given
seqcount_t if the counter is even. This enables eliding the critical
section entirely if the counter is odd, instead of doing the speculation
knowing it will fail.
