[PATCH 2/2] sched_clock: Disable seqlock lockdep usage in sched_clock

From: John Stultz
Date: Thu Jan 02 2014 - 18:11:41 EST


Unforunately the seqlock lockdep enablmenet can't be used
in sched_clock, since the lockdep infrastructure eventually
calls into sched_clock, which causes a deadlock.

Thus, this patch changes all generic sched_clock usage
to use the raw_* methods.
