All the official exported seqlock.h APIs are marked with verbose
kernel-doc annotations on top. The rest are internal...

It's a bit more complicated than just adding some "__" prefixes, due to
the massive compile-time polymorphism done through _Generic().
The '*_seqcount_t_*' format was the best we could come up with to
distinguish (again, for internal seqlock.h code) between macros taking
all seqcount_LOCKNAME_t types, and macros/functions taking only plain
seqcount_t.
