With this change we make sure that the compiler will not
optimise the read of the sequence number in any way.

Seqlock implementation for QEMU. Usage idiom
reader:
do {
start = seqlock_read_begin(&sl);
...
} while (seqlock_read_retry(&sl, start));
writer:
seqlock_write_lock(&sl);
...
seqlock_write_unlock(&sl);
initialization:
seqlock_init(QemuSeqLock *sl, QemuMutex *mutex)
mutex could be NULL if the caller will provide its own protection
for concurrent write sides (typically using the BQL).
