[PATCH v2 1/2] jump_label: use ATOMIC_INIT() for initialization of .enabled

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2026-03-13 08:22:32
Subsystem: static branch/call, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Josh Poimboeuf, Jason Baron, Alice Ryhl, Linus Torvalds

Currently ATOMIC_INIT() is not used because in the past that macro was
provided by linux/atomic.h which is not usable from linux/jump_label.h.
However since commit 7ca8cf5347f7 ("locking/atomic: Move ATOMIC_INIT
into linux/types.h") the macro only requires linux/types.h.

Remove the now unnecessary workaround and the associated assertions.
