Sequence Number api provides interfaces for unsigned atomic up counters.

There are a number of atomic_t usages in the kernel where atomic_t api
is used for counting sequence numbers and other statistical counters.
Several of these usages, convert atomic_read() and atomic_inc_return()
return values to unsigned. Introducing sequence number ops supports
these use-cases with a standard core-api.

Sequence Number ops provide interfaces to initialize, increment and get
the sequence number. These ops also check for overflow and log message to
indicate when overflow occurs. This check is intended to help catch cases
where overflow could lead to problems.

Since v2:
- Uses atomic_inc_return() for incrementing the sequence number.
- No longer uses atomic_read()
