In general, protected subprograms are only eligible for a lock-free
expansion if they do not reference global assignable objects.
However, it seems reasonable to ignore references to variables in
System.Scalar_Values, which are generated when pragma Initialize_Scalars
is active. Such references appear, for example, when protected
subprogram has formal parameters of mode out.
