[POWERPC] spufs: fix invalid scheduling of forgotten contexts

At present, we have a situation where a context with no owner is
re-scheduled by spu_forget:

Thread 1: reading regs file Thread 2: context owner

spu_forget()
- ctx->owner = NULL
- set SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE

spu_acquire_saved()
- context is in saved state

spu_release_saved()
- SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE is set,
  so spu_activate() the context,
  which now has no owner

In spu_forget(), we shouldn't be requesting a re-schedule by setting
SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE. This change removes the set_bit in spu_forget(),
so that spu_release_saved() doesn't reinsert this destroyed context on
to the run queue.
