octeontx2-pf: Fix synchnorization issue in mbox
Mbox implementation in octeontx2 driver has three states alloc, send and reset in mbox response. VF allocate and sends message to PF for processing, PF ACKs them back and reset the mbox memory. In some case we see synchronization issue where after msgs_acked is incremented and before mbox_reset API is called, if current execution is scheduled out and a different thread is scheduled in which checks for msgs_acked. Since the new thread sees msgs_acked == msgs_sent it will try to allocate a new message and to send a new mbox message to PF.Now if mbox_reset is scheduled in, PF will see '0' in msgs_send. This patch fixes the issue by calling mbox_reset before incrementing msgs_acked flag for last processing message and checks for valid message size.
