[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] power: fix non thread-safe power env modification

[Hajkowski <marcinx.hajkowski@intel.com>]

From: Marcin Hajkowski <marcinx.hajkowski@intel.com>

Due to lack of thread safety in exisiting solution
use spinlock mechanism for atomic
modification of power environment related data.
