padata: make the sequence counter an atomic_t Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've atomic_t for this! Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g. occupying only two instead of three cache lines. Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run using pcrypt. Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more reason to get rid of it.
