Documentation/atomic_ops.txt: avoid volatile in sample code
As declaring counter as volatile is discouraged, it is best not to use it in sample code as well. Signed-off-by: Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

C integer type will fail. Something like the following should
suffice:
- typedef struct { volatile int counter; } atomic_t;
+ typedef struct { int counter; } atomic_t;
Historically, counter has been declared volatile. This is now discouraged.
See Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt for the complete rationale.
