[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/1] net/hinic: use mutex replace spin lock

[Ziyang Xuan]

Using spin lock to protect critical resources
of sending mgmt messages. This will make high
CPU usage for rte_delay_ms when sending mgmt
messages frequently. We can use mutex to protect
the critical resources and usleep to reduce CPU
usage while keep functioning properly.
