Subject: [PATCH RFC smp] Remove diagnostics and adjust config for CSD lock
 diagnostics

Hello!

This series removes CSD-lock diagnostics that were once very useful
but which have not seen much action since.  It also adjusts Kconfig and
kernel-boot-parameter setup.

1.	locking/csd_lock: Add Kconfig option for csd_debug default.

2.	locking/csd_lock: Remove added data from CSD lock debugging.

3.	locking/csd_lock: Remove per-CPU data indirection from CSD
	lock debugging.

4.	kernel/smp: Make csdlock_debug= resettable.

						Thanx, Paul
