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.

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.
