Subject: [PATCH] lib: atomic64: Initialize locks statically to fix early users

The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to
implement atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without
support for atomic 64-bit instructions. Unfortunately, the
spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that is too late
for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64 operations
before the initcall is run (introduced by 8823c07 "vfs: Add setns
support for the mount namespace").

This leads to BUG messages such as:

BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0
 lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0

coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.

Fix this problem by initializing the spinlocks statically at
compile time.
