Performance counters need 64 bit atomic operations.
To keep the patch small we use the simple generic atomic64_t implementation.
The native implementation follows with the next kernel.
Fixes this build bug:

The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h
so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h
that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it
would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h. Move the type definition
to linux/types.h to break the loop.
