Mark found ldsem_cmpxchg() needed an (atomic_long_t *) cast to keep working after making the atomic_long interface type safe. Needing casts is bad form, which made me look at the code. There are no ld_semaphore::count users outside of these functions so there is no reason why it can not be an atomic_long_t in the first place, obviating the need for this cast. That also ensures the loads use atomic_long_read(), which implies (at least) READ_ONCE() in order to guarantee single-copy-atomic loads. When using atomic_long_try_cmpxchg() the ldsem_cmpxchg() wrapper gets very thin (the only difference is not changing *old on success, which most callers don't seem to care about). So rework the whole thing to use atomic_long_t and its accessors directly. While there, fixup all the horrible comment styles.
