[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 30/39] eventdev: add routine to access eventmode link info

[Anoob Joseph <anoobj@marvell.com>]

When the application is drafted for single stage eventmode, it will be
efficient to have the loop in the application space, rather than passing
it on to the helper. But application would need to have info on the
links to be able to do that efficiently. This function exposes the links
to that application.
