[PATCH 1/7] mailbox: change full flag per mailbox queue instead of global

From: Fernando Guzman Lugo <x0095840 at ti.com>

As pointed by Ohad Ben-Cohen, the variable rq_full flag is a
global variable, so if there are multiple mailbox users
there will be conflics. Now there is a full flag per
mailbox queue.

Version 2:
- Rebase to the latest.
Version 3:
- Remove spin_lock protection. When the full flag is
true the interrupt for that mailbox is disabled. So there
is no race condition if full flag is modified before
calling omap_mbox_enable_irq.
