Now that fifo merge has been removed, nobody uses the extra_info related

I think this might come into use when we fix the usage of channel out
field. That is, since channel out is an immediate write field, when we
set a new manager for an overlay, we may need to wait till the overlay
disable kicks in, only then we should change channel out.
For this, we would need some wait for extra_info, right?
Hmm, yes, I think you are right. Previously the ovl_disable waited until
the overlay is not used anymore, but now it doesn't.
So I think I need to add wait_pending_extra_info_updates() call to the
beginning of dss_ovl_set_manager(). Or, should it be in unset_manager...
I think unset is better, then a "free" overlay always disabled also in
the HW level.
Yes, I also think it should be in unset_manager. One option could be to
leave the wait_pending_extra_info_updates() in ovl_disable itself, as it
was before. But that would force us to use mutexes there, and we'd
rather have overlay enabling and disabling as a non blocking thing.
