Matthew Wilcox 64ac24e738 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.

Christoph Hellwig 04fc8bbcf5 kill DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED
DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED was used for semaphores used as completions and we've
got rid of them.  Well, except for one in libusual that the maintainer
explicitly wants to keep as semaphore.  So convert that useage to an
explicit sema_init and kill of DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED so that new code is
reminded to use a completion.

Arthur Othieno 727a53bd53 [PATCH] semaphore: Remove __MUTEX_INITIALIZER()
__MUTEX_INITIALIZER() has no users, and equates to the more commonly used
DECLARE_MUTEX(), thus making it pretty much redundant.  Remove it for good.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
