This commit reverts the addition of lockdep checking to raw_seqcount_begin
for the following reasons:
1) It violates the naming convention that raw_* functions should not
do lockdep checks (a convention that is also followed by the other
raw_*_seqcount_begin functions).
2) raw_seqcount_begin does not spin, so it can only be part of an ABBA
deadlock in very special circumstances (for instance if a lock
is held across the entire raw_seqcount_begin()+read_seqcount_retry()
loop while also being taken inside the write_seqcount protected area).
3) It is causing false positives with some existing callers, and there
is no non-lockdep alternative for those callers to use.
None of the three existing callers (__d_lookup_rcu, netdev_get_name, and
the NFS state code) appear to use the function in a manner that is ABBA
deadlock prone.
