From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Fundamentally semaphores are a counted primitive, but
DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() does not expose this and explicitly creates a
binary semaphore.
Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument and use that in the
few places that open-coded it using __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER().
No big deal considering the changelog is small, but I would have expected
just for __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER() to be used in the next patch, instead
of changing DEFINE_SEMAPHORE, which users just need because of the mutex
api restrictions.

binary sempahores over mutexes]
