Subject: [ 46/69] ipc/sem.c: rename try_atomic_semop() to perform_atomic_semop(), docu update

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@...orfullife.com>

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.
