In ixgbe_dev_link_update_share(), if the media type is fiber and the
link is down, a flag (IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_CONFIG) is set. A callback
to ixgbe_dev_setup_link_thread_handler() is scheduled which should
try to set up the link and clear the flag afterwards. This flag works
as a guard variable between threads.
To avoid potential race condition between threads, set the
IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_CONFIG flag only when there is no link thread
running.
