[PATCH] atomic_long_t & include/asm-generic/atomic.h V2

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h).  We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.

The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.

This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type.  Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.
