Please, s/raw_write_seqcount_t_begin()/raw_write_seqcount_begin()/g. For
plain seqcount_t, it's the same, while still respecting the seqlock.h
API boundaries.
Let's make the comment also a bit more clear (IMHO, "lockdep" needs to
be mentioned somewhere):
/*
* Disabling preemption is not needed for the write side, as
* the read side doesn't spin, but goes to the mmap_lock.
*
* Use the raw variant of the seqcount_t write API to avoid
* lockdep complaining about preemptibility.
*/
mmap_assert_write_locked(src_mm);
raw_write_seqcount_t_begin(&src_mm->write_protect_seq);

ditto.
