3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 758a6ba39ef6df4cdc615e5edd7bd86eab81a5f7 upstream.
Cleanup: Some minor points that I noticed while writing the previous
patches
1) The name try_atomic_semop() is misleading: The function performs the
operation (if it is possible).
2) Some documentation updates.
No real code change, a rename and documentation changes.
