[PATCH] net/i40e: max frame size config regardless of link status

[wenxuanx.wu@intel.com]

From: Wenxuan Wu <wenxuanx.wu@intel.com>

Previously, max frame size can only be set when link is up, testpmd configuration
when port is down, so there is a confilict to apply this max frame size before
link up.

Actual results:

Set max frame size at port level not applicable on link down

  Rx-pps:            0          Rx-bps:            0
  Tx-pps:    

Expected results:
----
  RX-packets: 1          RX-missed: 0          RX-bytes:  5061
  RX-errors: 0
  RX-nombuf:  0
  TX-packets: 0          TX-errors: 0          TX-bytes:  0  Throughput (since last show)
  Rx-pps:            0          Rx-bps:         3464
  Tx-pps:            0          Tx-bps:            0

This fix resolve max frame configuration regardless of link status, which means
port mtu can be set whether link is down or up same as ifconfig mtu behavior.
