SUNRPC: Use atomic(64)_t for seq_send(64)

Browse Source 
The seq_send & seq_send64 fields in struct krb5_ctx are used as
atomically incrementing counters. This is implemented using cmpxchg() &
cmpxchg64() to implement what amount to custom versions of
atomic_fetch_inc() & atomic64_fetch_inc().

Besides the duplication, using cmpxchg64() has another major drawback in
that some 32 bit architectures don't provide it. As such commit
571ed1fd23 ("SUNRPC: Replace krb5_seq_lock with a lockless scheme")
resulted in build failures for some architectures.

Change seq_send to be an atomic_t and seq_send64 to be an atomic64_t,
then use atomic(64)_* functions to manipulate the values. The atomic64_t
type & associated functions are provided even on architectures which
lack real 64 bit atomic memory access via CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 which
uses spinlocks to serialize access. This fixes the build failures for
architectures lacking cmpxchg64().

A potential alternative that was raised would be to provide cmpxchg64()
on the 32 bit architectures that currently lack it, using spinlocks.
However this would provide a version of cmpxchg64() with semantics a
little different to the implementations on architectures with real 64
bit atomics - the spinlock-based implementation would only work if all
access to the memory used with cmpxchg64() is *always* performed using
cmpxchg64(). That is not currently a requirement for users of
cmpxchg64(), and making it one seems questionable. As such avoiding
cmpxchg64() outside of architecture-specific code seems best,
particularly in cases where atomic64_t seems like a better fit anyway.

The CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 implementation of atomic64_* functions will
use spinlocks & so faces the same issue, but with the key difference
that the memory backing an atomic64_t ought to always be accessed via
the atomic64_* functions anyway making the issue moot.
