[PATCH] seqlock: fix seqlock_write_unlock_impl function


From: Luc Michel
Subject: [PATCH] seqlock: fix seqlock_write_unlock_impl function
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2020 15:49:48 +0100

The seqlock write unlock function was incorrectly calling
seqlock_write_begin() instead of seqlock_write_end(), and was releasing
the lock before incrementing the sequence. This could lead to a race
condition and a corrupted sequence number becoming odd even though the
lock is not held.
