The semaphore xTXDCountSem had the count to match the number of resources available, but was being used as a binary semaphore in a loop to listen for events. This patch updates the logic to make use of the resource count.
With RTX5 the OS traps with an error if the a semaphore is released more times than its count with an error similar to "Semaphore 10000e6c error -17". Because xTXDCountSem is being used as a binary semaphore it triggered this trap. With this patch the semaphore is no longer used as a binary semaphore and no longer traps.
