Subject: [PATCH 0/2] locking/qspinlock: Break qspinlock_types.h header loop

This miniseries breaks a header loop involving qspinlock_types.h.
The issue is that qspinlock_types.h includes atomic.h, which then
eventually includes kernel.h which could lead back to the original
file via spinlock_types.h.

The first patch moves ATOMIC_INIT into linux/types.h while the second
patch actuallys breaks the loop by no longer including atomic.h
in qspinlock_types.h.

Cheers,
