[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] net/mlx5: fix inconsistent link status query

[Gowrishankar]

From: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS ioctl call in mlx5 pmd returns inconsistent
link status due to which any application relying on it would not
function correctly.

Fixes: 188408719888 ("net/mlx5: fix support for newer link speeds")
Cc: stable at dpdk.org

v4:
 - use __extension__ for GNU C standard (struct in struct)
