net: sched: Remove Qdisc::running sequence counter
The Qdisc::running sequence counter has two uses: 1. Reliably reading qdisc's tc statistics while the qdisc is running (a seqcount read/retry loop at gnet_stats_add_basic()). 2. As a flag, indicating whether the qdisc in question is running (without any retry loops). For the first usage, the Qdisc::running sequence counter write section, qdisc_run_begin() => qdisc_run_end(), covers a much wider area than what is actually needed: the raw qdisc's bstats update. A u64_stats sync point was thus introduced (in previous commits) inside the bstats structure itself. A local u64_stats write section is then started and stopped for the bstats updates. Use that u64_stats sync point mechanism for the bstats read/retry loop at gnet_stats_add_basic(). For the second qdisc->running usage, a __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit flag, accessed with atomic bitops, is sufficient. Using a bit flag instead of a sequence counter at qdisc_run_begin/end() and qdisc_is_run...
