Vadim Lomovtsev 609ea65c65 net: thunderx: add mutex to protect mailbox from concurrent calls for same VF
In some cases it could happen that nicvf_send_msg_to_pf() could be called
concurrently for the same NIC VF, and thus re-writing mailbox contents and
breaking messaging sequence with PF by re-writing NICVF data.

This commit is to implement mutex for NICVF to protect mailbox registers
and NICVF messaging control data from concurrent access.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
