Subject: [PATCH] SBS ACPI: convert binary semaphore to mutex

according to http://lwn.net/Articles/167034/ binary semaphores (which
aren't given in interrupt context or locked/unlocked in different
process contexts) should be converted to the new mutex API.

this patch converts the semaphore used by the Smart Battery System
ACPI interface driver to a mutex.

please let me know your comments if i misinterpreted the article or if
you see something wrong in the patch
