From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Add device arguments to lock Rx/Tx contexts.
Application can either choose to lock Rx or Tx contexts by using
'lock_rx_ctx' or 'lock_tx_ctx' respectively per each port.

Example:
	-w 0002:02:00.0,lock_rx_ctx=1 -w 0002:03:00.0,lock_tx_ctx=1

 v6 Changes:
 - Rebase on next-net-mrvl.

 v5 Changes:
  - Remove redundant goto.(Andrzej)

 v4 Changes:
  - Fix return path using unnecessary goto.(Andrzej)
  - Fix datatype of values passed to devargs parser.(Andrzej)

 v3 Changes:
  - Split series into individual patches as targets are different.
