Semaphore to mutex conversion.

The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.

<title>[NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum</title>

<content type='text'>
We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum.  We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum.  This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.

I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.

Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument.  As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
argument.

When we pull the PPP protocol off the skb, we forgot to update the
hardware RX checksum.  This may lead to messages such as

	dsl0: hw csum failure.

Similarly, we need to clear the hardware checksum flag when we use
the existing packet to store the decompressed result.

Currently the checks are scattered all over and this leads
to inconsistencies and even cases where the check is not made.

Based upon a patch from Kris Katterjohn.

<title>[PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module</title>

From: Matt Domsch &lt;Matt_Domsch@dell.com&gt;

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to &lt;pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net&gt; please.

fixes up all in-kernel users of the function.

<title>[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()</title>

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head-&gt;qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.
