Hi all,

Apparently, the ice driver does not allow disabling lsc interrupts. Starting
testpmd with --no-lsc-interrupt gives this in the console:

testpmd> ice_interrupt_handler(): OICR: link state change event
Port 0: link state change event
ice_interrupt_handler(): OICR: link state change event
Port 1: link state change event

I tested with version 22.11 which seems not to have the issue. I found a
suspicious commit introduced in 24.03 which may be the culprit:

    net/ice: fix link update

    The ice_aq_get_link_info function is not thread-safe. However,
    it is possible to simultaneous invocations during both the dev_start
    and the LSC interrupt handler, potentially leading to unexpected adminq
    errors. This patch addresses the issue by introducing a thread-safe
    wrapper that utilizes a spinlock.
