Documentation: seqlock: s/LOCKTYPE/LOCKNAME/g

stable inclusion
from stable-5.10.4
commit d03b710d8eae5479a4c24cfadbca4bdb6bd05328
bugzilla: 46903

--------------------------------

commit cf486472 upstream.

Sequence counters with an associated write serialization lock are called
seqcount_LOCKNAME_t. Fix the documentation accordingly.

While at it, remove a paragraph that inappropriately discussed a
seqlock.h implementation detail.

Fixes: 6dd699b1 ("seqlock: seqcount_LOCKNAME_t: Standardize naming convention")
