Move documentation from semaphore.h to semaphore.c as requested by
Andrew Morton. Also reformat to kernel-doc style and add some more
notes about the implementation.

By removing the negative values of 'count' and relying on the wait_list to
indicate whether we have any waiters, we can simplify the implementation
by removing the protection against an unlikely race condition. Thanks to
David Howells for his suggestions.

ACPI currently emulates a timeout for semaphores with calls to
down_trylock and sleep. This produces horrible behaviour in terms of
fairness and excessive wakeups. Now that we have a unified semaphore
implementation, adding a real down_trylock is almost trivial.

down_killable() is the functional counterpart of mutex_lock_killable.

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.
