I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.

One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.

In addition, several cases had the following structure:

down()
if () {
...
}
up()

The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.

This code is for a completely new version of the Realtek 8192 USB devices
such as the D-Link DWA-130. The Realtek code, which was originally for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows CE, has been stripped of all code not needed
for Linux. In addition, only one additional configuration variable, which
enables AP mode, remains.
