nfp: add async version of mailbox communication

Browse source 
Some control messages must be sent from atomic context.  The mailbox
takes sleeping locks and uses a waitqueue so add a "posted" version
of communication.

Trylock the semaphore and if that's successful kick of the device
communication.  The device communication will be completed from
a workqueue, which will also release the semaphore.

If locks are taken queue the message and return.  Schedule a
different workqueue to take the semaphore and run the communication.
Note that the there are currently no atomic users which would actually
need the return value, so all replies to posted messages are just
freed.
