backports: add generic semaphore.h
Matthew generalized the semaphore implementation and part of
that collateral evolution consisted of changing the header
used for the expected routines from asm/semaphore.h to
linux/semaphore.h.

Generic semaphore implementation
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.
