net: thunderx: add mutex to protect mailbox from concurrent calls for same VF

Vadim Lomovtsev · davem330 · commit 609ea65c65a0 · 2019-02-22T11:43:45.000-08:00
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.
