[PATCH] test_rhashtable: remove semaphore usage

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

This is one of only two files that initialize a semaphore to a negative
value. We don't really need the two semaphores here at all, but can do
the same thing in more conventional and more effient way, by using a
single waitqueue and an atomic thread counter.

This gets us a little bit closer to eliminating classic semaphores from
the kernel. It also fixes a corner case where we fail to continue after
one of the threads fails to start up.

An alternative would be to use a split kthread_create()+wake_up_process()
and completely eliminate the separate synchronization.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This is part of a longer, untested, series to remove semaphores
from the kernel, please review as such before applying.
