There will be no side effects.

This will cause a wait of up to 5 seconds.

The reason for pushing this patch is that the E823 NIC needs about 2 seconds
to get the link up state when the port is started, so the waiting time needs to
be extended. 
Modified to 5 seconds, consistent with other timeouts of DPDK.
