Make xa_init_flags() macro to avoid false positive lockdep splats.

Friendly ping. The subject should be changed to mention xa_init_flags(),
but anything else should be done here to get it apply ?

When spin_lock_init() is used inside initialization function (like
in xa_init_flags()) which can be called many times, lockdep assign
the same key to different locks.

For example this splat is seen with intel_vpu driver which uses
two xarrays and has two separate xa_init_flags() calls:

*** DEADLOCK ***

Lockdep falsely identified xa_lock from two different xarrays as the same
lock and report deadlock. More detailed description of the problem
is provided in commit c21f11d182c2 ("drm: fix drmm_mutex_init()")

LGTM. However, it is up to Matthew to take it or not as he is the XArray maintainer.
