locking/seqlock: Propagate 'const' pointers within read-only methods, remove forced type casts
Currently __seqprop_ptr() is an inline function that must chose to either
use 'const' or non-const seqcount related pointers - but this results in
the undesirable loss of 'const' propagation, via a forced type cast.
The easiest solution would be to turn the pointer wrappers into macros that
pass through whatever type is passed to them - but the clever maze of
seqlock API instantiation macros relies on the GCC CPP '##' macro
extension, which isn't recursive, so inline functions must be used here.
So create two wrapper variants instead: 'ptr' and 'const_ptr', and pick the
right one for the codepaths that are const: read_seqcount_begin() and
read_seqcount_retry().
This cleans up type handling and allows the removal of all type forcing.
No change in functionality.
