Subject: [PATCH] semaphore: Resolve some shadow warnings

From: Mark Rustad <mark.d.rustad@...el.com>

Resolve some shadow warnings resulting from using the name
jiffies, which is a well-known global. This is not a problem
of course, but it could be a trap for someone copying and
pasting code, and it just makes W=2 a little cleaner.
