The virtio port link status will always be UP, even the port is stopped:
testpmd> port stop 0
Stopping ports...
Checking link statuses...
Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex
Done
The link status is queried by link_update callback when LSC is disabled.
Which in turn queries the "status" field. However, the "status" is
read-only. I couldn't think of some proper ways to change the status
without doing device reset.
Instead of doing (the heavy) reset at stop, this patch introduced a flag,
which is set to 1 and 0 on start and stop, respectively. When it's set to
0, the link status is set to DOWN unconditionally.
