kernel: flex_proportions: make fprop_new_period() hardirq safe

A deadlock vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's flexible proportions fprop code used for I/O writeback accounting. When a hardirq interrupts the seqcount write section in fpropnewperiod during softirq context, a reader in the hardirq handler can spin indefinitely waiting for the odd...
