spin_lock when create pseudo inode

[Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In fs/inode.c:
...

struct inode *new_inode_pseudo(struct super_block *sb)
{
    struct inode *inode = alloc_inode(sb);

    if (inode) {
        spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        inode->i_state = 0;
        spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&inode->i_sb_list);
    }
    return inode;
}
...

Do we really need spin_lock for inode->i_state = 0 ? Why not:
    atomic_set(&inode->i_state, 0);

Regards,
