[SPARK-17301][SQL] Remove unused classTag field from AtomicType base class There's an unused `classTag` val in the AtomicType base class which is causing unnecessary slowness in deserialization because it needs to grab ScalaReflectionLock and create a new runtime reflection mirror. Removing this unused code gives a small but measurable performance boost in SQL task deserialization.
