7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing at baidu.com>

[ Upstream commit a58edda50a3ec08e6adac1d04dc3e488494e412d ]

The `seq |= 1` operation in the volume lookup loop is incorrect because:
seq is already incremented at start, making it odd in next iteration
which triggers lock, but The `|= 1` operation causes seq to be even
and unintended lockless operation

Remove this erroneous operation to maintain proper lock sequencing.
