Well, you can't get the priority ceiling of a _mutex_ if
it the protocol is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE. See the POSIX spec,
excerpt here (pthread_mutex_getprioceiling):
These functions shall fail if:
[EINVAL]
The protocol attribute of mutex is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE.
POSIX makes no mention of this for operations on a mutex attribute,
but I have no idea why it wouldn't have the same error returned
under similar conditions.
Why would you want to get the priority ceiling of a mutex
attribute that is not PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT? What value
could the implementation return in this case anyway, it
really doesn't make sense?
