17 * The spinlock controls access to the other members of the semaphore.
18 * 'count' is decremented by every task which calls down*() and incremented
19 * by every call to up(). Thus, if it is positive, it indicates how many
20 * more tasks may acquire the lock. If it is negative, it indicates how
21 * many tasks are waiting for the lock. Tasks waiting for the lock are
22 * kept on the wait_list.
