asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bit

32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type.
This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the
implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks
to protect the atomic_t.

These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the
new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but
the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only
atomic_t implementation inside the kernel.

We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit
range of atomic_t.
