IIUC, this bool / flag is used in a single file, so it makes sense for it 
to be static. Being static means it does not need to be initialized to 
false, as it's standard to zero-fill this areas.

Also, since it's a bool, it does not need to be called _flag.

I would go with:

static bool enable_qspinlock __ro_after_init;
