Unless someone has a very good argument for the "tspinlock" name, I would
prefer naming the new file ticket_spinlock.h. While the 'qspinlock' name has
an established meaning already, this is not the case for 'tspinlock', and
the longer name would be less confusing in my opinion.

As Huacai Chen suggested in the other thread, the asm/qrwlock.h include should
be outside of the #ifdef here.

I don't think this file warrants the extra indirection, since both
versions have only a
few lines. Just put it all into one file, and change the files that include
asm-generic/qspinlock_types.h to use asm-generic/spinlock_types.h instead.
