[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 17.11 4/5] net/qede: fix incorrect link status update

[Rasesh Mody <rasesh.mody@cavium.com>]

From: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.shaikh@cavium.com>

[ upstream commit c6034a20d9e221dc6125db57e4378520af3a515d ]

qede_link_update() always returns -1 i.e. link not changed,
because it compares the variables which always hold same value.

Fix this function by caching old link state and comparing it with
new one.

Fixes: 2ea6f76aff40 ("qede: add core driver")
