kernel/k_sem: Spinlockify
Switch semaphores to use a subsystem spinlock instead of the system
irqlock.
Note that this is only "half way there". Semaphores will no longer
contend with other irqlock users on SMP systems, but all semaphores
are still sharing the same lock. Really we want semaphores to be
independently synchronized, but adding 4 bytes to every one (there are
a LOT of these things) for a separate spinlock is too much to pay.
Rather, a proper SMP-aware implementation would spin on the count
variable directly. But let's not rock that boat quite yet.
