net: sched: Remove Qdisc::running sequence counter
The Qdisc::running sequence counter has two uses:
1. Reliably reading qdisc's tc statistics while the qdisc is running
(a seqcount read/retry loop at gnet_stats_add_basic()).
2. As a flag, indicating whether the qdisc in question is running
(without any retry loops).
For the first usage, the Qdisc::running sequence counter write section,
qdisc_run_begin() => qdisc_run_end(), covers a much wider area than what
is actually needed: the raw qdisc's bstats update. A u64_stats sync
point was thus introduced (in previous commits) inside the bstats
structure itself. A local u64_stats write section is then started and
stopped for the bstats updates.
Use that u64_stats sync point mechanism for the bstats read/retry loop
at gnet_stats_add_basic().
For the second qdisc->running usage, a __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit flag,
accessed with atomic bitops, is sufficient. Using a bit flag instead of
a sequence counter at qdisc_run_begin/end() and qdisc_is_running() leads
to the SMP barriers implicitly added through raw_read_seqcount() and
write_seqcount_begin/end() getting removed. All call sites have been
surveyed though, and no required ordering was identified.
Now that the qdisc->running sequence counter is no longer used, remove
it.
Note, using u64_stats implies no sequence counter protection for 64-bit
architectures. This can lead to the qdisc tc statistics "packets" vs.
"bytes" values getting out of sync on rare occasions. The individual
values will still be valid.
