[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 2/2] nfp: allow for non-root user

[Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com>]

Currently, the nfp lock files are taken from the global lock file
location, which will work when the user is running as root.  However,
some distributions and applications (notably ovs 2.8+ on RHEL/Fedora)
run as a non-root user.
