John Ogness 35b2b16348 printk: use atomic64_t for devkmsg_user.seq
@user->seq is indirectly protected by @logbuf_lock. Once @logbuf_lock
is removed, @user->seq will be no longer safe from an atomicity point
of view.

In preparation for the removal of @logbuf_lock, change it to
atomic64_t to provide this safety.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
