No, store-release wouldn't prevent later stores from moving up. It only
ensures that earlier loads and stores have completed before
store-release completes. If later stores could move before a supposed
store-release(seqlock->sn), readers could see inconsistent (torn) data
with a valid sequence number.

Load-acquire(seqlock->sn) in rte_seqlock_begin() must be paired with
store-release(seqlock->sn) in rte_seqlock_write_end() or there wouldn't
exist any synchronize-with relationship. Readers don't access the spin
lock so any writer-side updates to the spin lock don't mean anything to
readers.
