Summary:
- The critical section was added in Mar 2018 to improve
stability in SMP mode
- However, I noticed that this critical section is no longer
needed
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with spresense:wifi_smp and spresense:rndis_smp

1.Consolidate absolute to relative timeout conversion into one place(_net_timedwait)
2.Drive the wait timeout logic by net_timedwait instead of devif_timer
This patch help us remove devif_timer(period tick) to save the power in the future.

* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
Iobinstrumentation
* mm/iob: Introduces producer/consumer id to every iob call. This is so that the calls can be instrumented to monitor the IOB resources.
* iob instrumentation - Merges producer/consumer enumeration for simpler IOB user.
* fs/procfs: Starts adding support for /proc/iobinfo
* fs/procfs: Finishes first pass of simple IOB user stastics and /proc/iobinfo entry

net/utils: return from net_breaklock() was being clobbered.
net/: Replace all calls to iob_alloc() with calls to net_ioballoc() which will release the network lock, if necessary.
net/utils, tcp, include/net: Separate out the special IOB allocation logic and place it in its own function. Prototype is available in a public header file where it can also be used by network drivers.
net/utils: net_timedwait() now uses new net_breaklock() and net_restorelock().
Fix SMP related bugs
* sched/sched: Fix a deadlock in SMP mode
Two months ago, I introduced sched_tasklist_lock() and
sched_tasklist_unlock() to protect tasklists in SMP mode.
Actually, this change works pretty well for HTTP audio
streaming aging test with lc823450-xgevk.
However, I found a deadlock in the scheduler when I tried
similar aging tests with DVFS autonomous mode where CPU
clock speed changed based on cpu load. In this case, call
sequences were as follows;
cpu1: sched_unlock()->sched_mergepending()->sched_addreadytorun()->up_cpu_pause()
cpu0: sched_lock()->sched_mergepending()
To avoid this deadlock, I added sched_tasklist_unlock() when calling
up_cpu_pause() and sched_addreadytorun(). Also, added
sched_tasklist_lock() after the call.

critical section API must be used.

This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
