Subject[PATCH 2/2] kernel/smp: Use make csd_lock_wait be smp_cond_acquire
Date
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs>

We can micro-optimize this call and mildly relax the
barrier requirements by relying on ctrl + rmb, keeping
the acquire semantics. In addition, this is pretty much
the now standard for busy-waiting under such restraints.
