In i40e_dev_link_update() the driver obtains the link status
info via admin queue command despite of "no_wait" flag. This
requires relatively long time and may be a problem to some
application such as ovs-dpdk.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1551761).
This patch aims to fix the problem by using a different
approach of obtaining link status for i40e NIC without waiting.
Instead of getting the link status via admin queue command,
this patch reads the link status registers to accelerate the
procedure.
