Because other code that uses smc_clc_wait_msg() handles EAGAIN allready, 
and the only exception is smc_listen_work(), but it doesn't really matter for it. 

The most important thing is that this conversion needs to be determined according to 
the calling scene, convert in smc_clc_wait_msg() is not very suitable.
