  The nfpu_close needs to unlink the lock file associated with the
nfp descriptor, not lock file 0.

Fixes: d12206e00590 ("net/nfp: add NSP user space interface")

Although the patch is correct, the truth is there was not option for locks
but "nfp0", because the PMD did not support more than one NFP card.

After commit with CPP support, the PMD can support more than one NFP card,
but this interface is not supported anymore and this file was removed.

is this patch coming from some code revision or from a problem you found?

Just a code review - we were reported a problem initializing the driver,
and in looking at the lock/unlock code, it seems that it was always
releasing the nfp0 lock.  Good to know that in practice it likely
wouldn't cause real harm.  I intend to resubmit this as is.

Thanks, Alejandro!
