[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/ixgbe: fix port can not link up in FreeBSD

[Lunyuan Cui]

In FreeBSD environment, nic_uio drivers do not support interrupts,
rte_intr_callback_register() will fail to register interrupts.
We can not make link status to change from down to up by interrupt
callback. So we need to wait for the controller to acquire link
when ports start. Through multiple tests, 5s should be enough.

Fixes: b9bd0f09fa15 ("ethdev: fix link status query")

v3 changes:
* Hide ifdef inside the function

v2 changes:
* Put waiting into a separate function to keep start() code clean.
