All the mailbox messages sent to AF needs to be guarded
by mutex lock. Add the missing lock in otx2_get_pauseparam
function.

Hi,

I am wondering if the call to otx2_nix_config_bp()
in otx2_dcbnl_ieee_setpfc() also needs to be protected by mbox.lock.

And although not strictly related to this patch, while looking over this, I
noticed that in otx2_init_hw_resources() it appears that &mbox->lock may be
unlocked twice in some error paths.

e.g.
	/* Init Auras and pools used by NIX RQ, for free buffer ptrs */
	err = otx2_rq_aura_pool_init(pf);
	if (err) {
		mutex_unlock(&mbox->lock);
		goto err_free_nix_lf;
	}
	...
err_free_nix_lf:
	mutex_lock(&mbox->lock);
	...

...

Correct. I will add lock around it and send v2 of this patch.

Will fix it and send it as another patch.
