Subject: Regression caused by bf726e "semaphore: fix"

Hi all,

I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my last 
git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e "semaphore: fix" 
to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.

Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get 
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o on 
the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit kernel and 
userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for the output of 
sysrq-w.

Sven
