* Function: sem_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
* sem_init(sem, 0, 0);
* sem_wait(sem);
* sem_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 sem_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 sem_setprotocol(SEM_PRIO_NONE) immediately after
* the sem_init() call so that there will be no priority inheritance
* operations on this semaphore.
*
* Parameters:
* sem - A pointer to the semaphore whose attributes are to be
* modified
* protocol - The new protocol to use
*
* Return Value:
* 0 if successful. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the errno value is set
* appropriately.
*
