cancellation points are basically function. More tested is needed and additional cancellation points must be implemented before this can be merged back to master.

sem_wait() and sem_trywait() no longer modify the errno value UNLESS an error occurs. This allows these functions to be used internallly without clobbering the errno value.

Within the OS, when a thread obtains a semaphore count it must call sem_addholder() if CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE is enabled. If a count is available, then sem_wait() calls sem_addholder(), otherwise it waited for the semaphore and called sem_addholder() when it eventually received the count.
...
This caused a problem when the thread calling sem_wait() was very low priority. When it received the count, there may be higher priority threads "hogging" the CPU that prevent the lower priority task from running and, as a result, the sem_addholder() may be delayed indefinitely.
The fix was to have sem_post() call sem_addholder() just before restarting the thread waiting for the semaphore count.
This problem was noted by Benix Vincent who also suggested the solution.
