Add support for lock acquire and lock release api.
When multiple EE's(Execution Environment) want to access
CE5 then there will be race condition b/w multiple EE's.

Since each EE's having their dedicated BAM pipe, BAM allows
Locking and Unlocking on BAM pipe. So if one EE's requesting
for CE5 access then that EE's first has to LOCK the BAM pipe
while setting LOCK bit on command descriptor and then access
it. After finishing the request EE's has to UNLOCK the BAM pipe
so in this way we race condition will not happen.

Does the lock/unlock need to happen on a dummy access before and after
the actual sequence? Is it not sufficient to lock/unlock on the first
and last operation?
  The locking/unlocking has to happen on command descriptor only, If we
  need locking/unlocking on data descriptor then we have to use dummy
  command descriptor only as per Hardware Programming Guide.

  Hardware Programming Guide state as below:
  Pipe Locking and Unlocking should appear ONLY in Command-Descriptor.
  In case a Lock is required on a Data Descriptor this can be implemented
  by a dummy Command-Descriptor with Lock/Unlock bit asserted preceding/
  following the Data Descriptor.

Please squash this with the previous commit, if kept as explicit
operations, please squash it with the previous patch that introduces the
flags.
  Ok


Added these two API qce_bam_acquire_lock() and qce_bam_release_lock()
for the same.

It's not entirely obvious that a "lock" operation will invalidate any
pending operations.
  qce_clear_bam_transaction() api is not going to invalidate any pending
  thransaction. This is just an internal api which will set bam_transaction
  structure to 0 before starting new bam transaction.

What would be a reasonable response from the caller if this release
operation returns a failure? How do you expect it to recover?
  If unlocking bam pipe failed means its a bam failure and we can abort
  the current transaction.

+
+	qce_clear_bam_transaction(qce);

In particularly not on "unlock".
  qce_clear_bam_transaction() this is just to initialize with 0
  for bam transaction structure before any new transaction start.

Bjorn
