I saw the same changes in the following review: https://reviews.llvm.org/D17438
I don't know in that way I could determine that atomic variable was initialized by macro ATOMIC_VAR_INIT. Anyway I added check that atomic variables can be initialize only in global scope.
I think that we can discuss this change.
Could we combine this error diag with the one below? I guess they are semantically very similar apart from one is about initialization and another is about assignment?
