* Name: nxsem_protect_wait
*
* Description:
* This function attempts to lock the protected semaphore, set the
* holder tcb priority to ceiling priority.
*
* This is an internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to
* sem_wait except that:
*
* - It is not a cancellation point, and
* - It does not modify the errno value.
*
* Input Parameters:
* sem - Semaphore descriptor.
*
* 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.
* Possible returned errors:
*
* - EINVAL: Invalid attempt to get the semaphore
*

* Name: nxsem_protect_post
*
* Description:
* This function handles priority restoration for semaphores with
* PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT protocol. It implements a clever technique to
* ensure that when a thread unlocks a PRIO_PROTECT mutex, it is not
* moved to the tail of the scheduling queue at its priority level.
*
* The key insight: by temporarily boosting the priority and then
* immediately restoring it, we trigger the scheduler to re-evaluate
* the thread's position in the ready queue without actually changing
* its execution priority.
*
* Workflow:
* 1. Temporarily set priority to (saved_priority + 1) - This causes
* the scheduler to keep the thread at the head of ready queue
* 2. Immediately restore to saved_priority - Thread maintains original
* priority but keeps its queue position
* 3. This satisfies POSIX requirement: "When a thread unlocks a mutex
* with PRIO_PROTECT protocol, it shall not be moved to the tail of
* the scheduling queue at its priority"
*
* Input Parameters:
* sem - Pointer to the semaphore structure
*
* Returned Value:
* None
*
* Assumptions:
* - Called from appropriate context with proper synchronization
* - sem->saved contains the original priority to restore
* - This technique relies on the specific behavior of NuttX scheduler
