Subject[PATCH 4/7] sempahore: add a helper for a concurrency limiter
Date
While I looked at re-using the old kernel/kmod.c (now kernel/module/kmod.c)
concurrency delimiter methodology for another place in the kernel Linus
noted that this could be simply replaced with a sempahore [0].

So add that so we we don't re-invent the wheel and make it obvious to use.
