locking/seqlock: Change __seqprop() to return the function pointer
This simplifies the macro and makes it easy to add the new seqprop's with 2 or more args. Plus this way we do not lose the type info, the (void*) type cast is no longer needed. And the latter reveals the problem: a lot of seqcount_t helpers pass the "const seqcount_t *s" argument to __seqprop_ptr(seqcount_t *s) but (before this patch) "(void *)(s)" masked the problem. So this patch changes __seqprop_ptr() and __seqprop_##lockname##_ptr() to accept the "const LOCKNAME *s" argument. This is not nice either, they need to drop the constness on return because these helpers are used by both the readers and writers, but at least it is clear what's going on.
