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

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 04:25:38 EST


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.
