There is no need for the !CONFIG_SMP case, as asm/spinlock.h only ever
gets included for SMP builds in the first place. This was already a mistake
in the existing code, but your change would be the time to fix it.

I would also drop the !CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCKS case, just include
it unconditionally. If any architecture wants the ticket spinlock in
combination with a custom rwlock, they can simply include the
asm-generic/ticket-lock.h from their asm/spinlock.h, but more
likely any architecture that can use the ticket spinlock will also
want the qrwlock anyway.
