Let me say up front I have no problem with this change, which moved from
<asm/semaphore.h> to <linux/semaphore.h>.  So take this email as an
honest question and not any form of complaint or criticism.  But looking
at that user_mad.c file in particular, I don't see any use of anything
that looks like it would come from semaphore.h.

So I'm wondering why you didn't just delete the inclusion, as you did in
other places?  I can merge a follow-up that does that cleanup (which
builds and works fine on my usual architectures) but I want to avoid
breaking avr32 allyesconfig or something like that.

(Commit 2fe7e6f7 "IB/umad: Simplify and fix locking" changed the locking
scheme, so maybe you looked at an older file)

Thanks,
  Roland
