ipc/sem.c: rename try_atomic_semop() to perform_atomic_semop(), docu update

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.
