I tried this modification and it works as well.

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: do not update link status in secondary process
The code to update link status is not safe in secondary process.
If called from secondary it will crash, example from dumpcap:
ixgbe_dev_link_update_share()
ixgbe_dev_link_update()
rte_eth_link_get()
