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.
