Hi Thomas,

This is fix for critical issues exposed by Gaetan Rivet's 
commit(8ea656f8c300175ac84f3cbe1117f5ef11ffc4eb) to enable LSC. 

This fix two issues. One is "VF testpmd can't set up successfully on Niantic 
nic.", another is " kernel VF sometimes can't link up successfully when test 
DPDK PF+kernel VF".

The fix is verified and code review show it is low risk.

It would be great if it can be released with DPDK 17.05.

Thanks & Regards,
Yu Liu

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix LSC interrupt issue

There is a bug in previous fix for lsc interrupt.
lsc interrupt is not disabled before delayed handler, that cause the delayed 
handler be re-entered.
