Add device arguments to lock NPA aura and pool contexts in NDC cache.
The device args take hexadecimal bitmask where each bit represent the
corresponding aura/pool id.
Example:
	-w 0002:02:00.0,npa_lock_mask=0xf // Lock first 4 aura/pool ctx

I think you need to make a paragraph break (empty line) after "::" in
order to have this example treated as "literal block" (same as max_pool
above - not visible in diff).  At least it looks so when I build doc
with "ninja doc" and check the result in browser.

Ditto - make that general comment (you might also want to fix other
places - not only those introduced).

Missing initialization of 'npa_lock_mask' - when user does not supply
this devarg then no callback is called and you copy this to idev (below).

Same here and below - if these are not errors then maybe do not log them
as such.  If they are errors then we should probably signal them via
return value ("return rc;").

I think that condition would never be true as it is a part of device probe 
and we would exit the application there.
 
I will move the condition above before sending the mbox message just to 
be safe.

These are not catastrophic errors since locking is first come first serve and 
pool can still function without locking.

I have logged them as errors for debuggability since the application has 
requested through devargs.
