Subject: [PATCH 3.13 111/120] powerpc/mm: Fix compile error of pgtable-ppc64.h

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

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

From: Li Zhong <zhong@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit fd120dc2e205d2318a8b47d6d8098b789e3af67d upstream.

It seems that forward declaration couldn't work well with typedef, use
struct spinlock directly to avoiding following build errors:

/root/linux-next/arch/powerpc/include/asm/pgtable-ppc64.h:563: note: previous declaration of 'spinlock_t' was here
