I see no reason that the nptl atomic.h and the glibc atomicity.h should not
be merged into a single header living the main glibc tree now.  Both are
internal headers.  The atomicity.h interfaces are used only in a few places
in glibc now and that usage can be tweaked easily enough for slightly
different interfaces.
