seqlock_init() needs to use spin_lock_init() for dynamic locks, so that
lockdep is notified about the presence of a new lock.

(this is a fallout of the recent networking merge, which started using
the so-far unused seqlock_init() API.)

This fix solves the following lockdep-internal warning on current -git:

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.
