For a single line we just use line_seqno for both to avoid the
atomic_inc here and so reduce the time spent in the ISR and any
SMP sync overheads.

As per the comment in struct linereq:
 * @seqno: the sequence number for edge events generated on all lines in
 * this line request.  Note that this is not used when @num_lines is 1, as
 * the line_seqno is then the same and is cheaper to calculate.

Cheers,
Kent.
