Subject: [PATCH 2/2] locking/qspinlock: Do not include atomic.h from
 qspinlock_types.h

This patch 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.

As ATOMIC_INIT is now defined by linux/types.h, there is no longer
any need to include atomic.h from qspinlock_types.h.  This also
allows the CONFIG_PARAVIRT hack to be removed since it was trying
to prevent exactly this loop.
