block: nr_sects_write(): Disable preemption on seqcount write
For optimized block readers not holding a mutex, the "number of sectors" 64-bit value is protected from tearing on 32-bit architectures by a sequence counter. Disable preemption before entering that sequence counter's write side critical section. Otherwise, the read side can preempt the write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If the reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will livelock.
