#1599860 — [PATCH 3/5] doc: fpga-mgr: separate getting/locking FPGA manager

Document that getting a reference to a FPGA Manager has been
separated from locking the FPGA Mangager for use.

fpga_mgr_lock/unlock functions get/release mutex.

of_fpga_mgr_get, fpga_mgr_get, and fpga_mgr_put no longer lock
the FPGA manager mutex.

This makes it more straigtforward to save a reference to
a FPGA manager and only attempting to lock it when programming
the FPGA.
