When we do observe partial updates the clock movement (in particular, ->clock_task movement) will go funny (in either direction), a subsequent clock update (observing the full update) will make it go funny in the oposite direction. Since we rely on these clocks to be strictly monotonic we cannot suffer backwards motion. One possible solution would be to simply ignore all backwards deltas, but that will lead to accounting artefacts, most notable: clock_task + irq_time != clock, this inaccuracy would end up in user visible stats. Therefore serialize the reads using a seqcount.
