[patch -rt] make gendev_rel_sem a compat_semaphore

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi Ingo,

I was getting the following:

BUG: nonzero lock count 10 at exit time?
        modprobe: 2972 [ffff81007e1aaf70, 116]

Call Trace:<ffffffff8014e2db>{printk_task+43} <ffffffff8015040f>{check_no_held_locks+111}

       <ffffffff80136f72>{sys_exit_group+18} <ffffffff8011e471>{ia32_sysret+0}

BUG: modprobe/2972, lock held at task exit time!
 [ffffffff8809fd00] {(struct semaphore *)(&hwif->gendev_rel_sem)}
.. held by:          modprobe: 2972 [ffff81007e1aaf70, 116]
... acquired at:               init_hwif_data+0xaf/0x1a0 [ide_core]

[snipped to not be so annoying]

Looking into this I see that gendev_rel_sem, which is only used when the
device is unregistered, is defined as a semaphore.  This patch changes
this to be a compat_semaphore.
