Due to needs a tackling the deficiency of the AP API, is necessary to ensure 
that in non-blocking mode
previous AP executed command is finished before start new one. 

To remedy above: 
  1) execute AcquireSpinLock instead AcquireSpinLockOrFail - this will ensure 
time "window" to eliminate potential
     race condition beetwen BSP and AP spinLock release in non-blocking mode.
     This also will eliminate possibility to start executing new AP function 
before last is finished.
  2) remove returns EFI_STATUS - EFI_NOT_READY - in new scenario returned 
status is not necessary to caller.
