* Name: nxsem_setprotocol
*
* Description:
* Set semaphore protocol attribute.
*
* One particularly important use of this furnction is when a semaphore
* is used for inter-task communication like:
*
* TASK A TASK B
* nxsem_init(sem, 0, 0);
* nxsem_wait(sem);
* nxsem_post(sem);
* Awakens as holder
*
* In this case priority inheritance can interfere with the operation of
* the semaphore. The problem is that when TASK A is restarted it is a
* holder of the semaphore. However, it never calls nxsem_post(sem) so it
* becomes *permanently* a holder of the semaphore and may have its
* priority boosted when any other task tries to acquire the semaphore.
*
* The fix is to call nxsem_setprotocol(SEM_PRIO_NONE) immediately after
* the sem_init() call so that there will be no priority inheritance
* operations on this semaphore.
*
* Input Parameters:
* sem - A pointer to the semaphore whose attributes are to be
* modified
* protocol - The new protocol to use
*
* Returned Value:
* This is an internal OS interface and should not be used by applications.
* It follows the NuttX internal error return policy: Zero (OK) is
* returned on success. A negated errno value is returned on failure.
*
