[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] spinlock: Move constructor function out of header file

From: Damjan Marion <damarion at cisco.com>

Having constructor function in the header gile is generaly
bad idea, as it will eventually be implanted to 3rd party
library.

In this case it is causing linking issues with 3rd party
libraries when application is not linked to dpdk, due to missing
symbol called by constructor.
