[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] net/mlx5: remove kernel version check

[Nelio Laranjeiro]

Kernel version check was introduced in
commit 3a49ffe38a95 ("net/mlx5: fix link status query")
due to a bug fixed by
commit ef09a7fc7620 ("net/mlx5: fix inconsistent link status query")

This patch restore the previous behavior as described in Linux API.
