#3306 ckpt: checkpoint node director responding to async call.

[Mohan Kanakam]

During section create, one ckptnd sends async request(normal mds send) to another ckptnd. But, another ckptnd is responding to the request in assumption that it received the sync request and it has to respond to the sender ckptnd. In few cases, it is needed to respond when a sync req comes to ckptnd, but in few cases, it receives async req and it needn't respond async request.
We are getting the following messages in mds log when creating the section:
sc1-VirtualBox osafckptnd 27692 mds.log [meta sequenceId="2"] MDS_SND_RCV: Invalid Sync CTXT Len

Hi Mohan,
I have tested your patch in my scenario and it works. The invalid sync ctcx messages are not being registered anymore.
Thanks
