As vm_clock_warp_start is a 64 bit value this causes problems for the
compiler trying to come up with a suitable atomic operation on 32 bit
hosts. The variable documentation says this is meant to be protected by
vm_clock_seqlock so lets just move the code into that section.

All other references to vm_clock_warp_start are already protected by the
seqlock.

I see you comment on the other thread passed the posting. I'll respin.
