seqlock: consolidate spin_lock/unlock waiting with spin_unlock_wait
since c2f21ce ("locking: Implement new raw_spinlock") include/linux/spinlock.h includes spin_unlock_wait() to wait for a concurren holder of a lock. this patch just moves over to that API. spin_unlock_wait covers both raw_spinlock_t and spinlock_t so it should be safe here as well. the added rt-variant of read_seqbegin in include/linux/seqlock.h that is being modified, was introduced by patch: seqlock-prevent-rt-starvation.patch behavior should be unchanged.
