When link down occurs, firmware adds the function of sending message

Hi Xavier,

As far as I can see the 'link_update' dev_ops (hns3_dev_link_update()), is just
copying data from internal structure to "struct rte_eth_link". And you have
timers set to regularly (ever second?) update the internal structure for link
status.

Instead, unless you are not using or need those status internally, you can pull
the internal link status in the 'hns3_dev_link_update()', this way it can be
possible to get rid of the timers. Also in current implementation, when used
asked for the link status, it can be outdated regarding the status of the 
timers.
We will use the internal link status in the driver, the relevent patch will be sent later. 



In this patch, interrupt seems used to update the internal link status, this
fixes the problem above that user is getting out of date link status. But
instead of this, what do you think updating "struct rte_eth_link" too in the
interrupt handler and advertising 'RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC' capability ("Link
status event" feature in .ini file), so user can enable the lsc interrupt
('dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc') and gets the link status quicker because of the
support in the API ('rte_eth_link_get')?


Currently, firmware adds the function of sending message to PF driver
through mailbox when the link status is changed, hns3 PMD driver can
usually recognize link state change faster through the message.

And in some extreme cases, this way is not faster than existing method
regularly updating link status by issing the command every second in PF
driver, because of the parallel processing of mailbox and command messages in firmware. So we reserve updating link status using timers in PF driver and don't advertising 'RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC' capability.
And we will add querying link status by issuing command to the firmware in '.link_update' ops implementation function named hns3_dev_link_update to solve the out of date link status in patch V2. 

Thanks,
Xavier
