[PATCH] smp: Remove CSD_FLAG_WAIT flag that's unused

[Tim Chen]

The CSD_FLAG_WAIT is not serving any useful purpose as we do not use
its value to decide if we are going to wait for a smp call to complete.
We also never cleared it properly when we are done waiting to indicate
that the wait is over.  So the WARNING debug check in csd_unlock is
also not serving useful purpose.  Propose here to remove it to clean up
the code.

Thanks.

Tim
