[PATCH 7/9] [CCID2]: Remove redundant synchronisation variable

[Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

This removes the synchronisation variable `ccid2hctx_sendwait', which is set to 1
when the CCID2 sender may send a new packet, and which is set to 0 otherwise

The variable is redundant, since it is only used in combination with the hc_tx_send_packet/
hc_tx_packet_sent function pair. Both functions are called under socket lock, so the
following happens when the CCID2 may send a new packet:

 * it sets sendwait = 1 in tx_send_packet and returns 0;
 * the subsequent call to tx_packet_sent clears the sendwait flag;
 * since tx_send_packet returns 0 if and only if sendwait = 1, the BUG_ON condition
   in tx_packet_sent is never satisfied, since that function is never called when
   tx_send_packet returns a value different from 0 (cf. dccp_write_xmit);
 * the call to tx_packet_sent clears the flag so that the condition "!sendwait" is
   true the next time tx_packet_sent is called.

In other words, it is sufficient to just return 0 / not-0 to synchronise tx_send_packet
and tx_packet_sent -- which is what the patch does.
