qed: Support management-based resource locking
Global locking can't properly be used to synchronize between different PFs in all scenarios, as those instances might reside in different logical partitions [e.g., when a PF is assigned via PDA to some VM]. The management firmware provides a generic infrastructure for device locks. For each 'resource', it's guaranteed it could be acquired by at most a single PF at any given time [or by management firmware]. This patch adds the necessary logic in qed for utilizing said infrastructure, implementing lock/unlock internal APIs.
