[PATCH] locking/qspinlock: Fix build for anonymous union in older gcc compilers

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

One of my tests compiles the kernel with gcc 4.5.3, and I hit the
following build error:

/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/semaphore.h: In function 'sema_init':
/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/semaphore.h:35:17: error: unknown field 'val' specified in initializer
/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/semaphore.h:35:17: warning: missing braces around initializer

I bisected it down to the introduction of the commit that makes
qspinlock have an anonymous union, which makes initializing it special
for older compilers. By adding strategic brackets, it makes the build
happy again.
