Avoid unexpected concurrent access (#94)
In file {chardev,chardev2,sleep}.c, the variable to determine
the exclusive access was of integer type, which led to race
condition.

This patch rewrote the above with atomic CAS respectively
to eliminate the race.

Enforce Linux kernel coding style (#88)
The only exception is to indent with four spaces rather than tabs

chardev: Revise comment on device node (#23)
The device file create in this example is "chardev". 
So input command "sudo cat /dev/chardev" will get a valid message
"I already told you %d times Hello world!"

the sake of compact layout.
