[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/ixgbe: fix blocking system events

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

> IXGBE link status task use rte alarm thread in old implementation.
> Sometime ixgbe link status task takes up to 9 seconds. This will
> severely affect the rte-alarm-thread-dependent a task in the
> system, like interrupt or hotplug event. So replace with a
> independent thread which has the same thread affinity settings
> as rte interrupt.
