Even when trying to use the Netronome cards via VFIO, there is a
lock file being requested, which requires root access. This series
fixes an issue with the nfp driver lock release always releasing
'nfp0' (which isn't a bug in practice for other reasons) as well
as allowing the lock file location to be configured by the application
or user via the HOME environment variable (similar to other resources
in the DPDK framework).
This series is only applicable to the stable tree because the nfp
driver is completely rewritten for later versions of DPDK.
