This patch is a workaround for the issue at the level of the ixgbe
driver code. The problem can actually be fixed at the level of DPDK
instead.  Furthermore, this patch circumvents the problem by moving the
check that determines if the link status needs to be read (which always
fails because get_link_status is not set before the
ixgbe_check_mac_link_vf function is called) into a portion of the code
that is skipped in most cases. I believe that this patch should be
superseded by the following patch:
