[PATCH 2/3] omap mailbox: prevent multiple concurrent receivers race

From: ext Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad at wizery.com>

We currently maintain only a single mailbox receiver callback.
To prevent multiple receivers race scenarios (in which receivers
will end up overwriting each other's callback pointers), we make
sure that mailbox instances cannot be taken by more than
one receiver at the same time.
