The enic DMAs link status information to the host and this requires a little setup. This setup was being done as a result of calling rte_eth_dev_start(). But applications expect to be able to check link status before calling rte_eth_dev_start().
This patch moves he link status setup to enic_init() which is called at device probe time so that link status can be checked anytime.
