It looks like it contradicts to the function description saying that 0 is
returned if link status is the same.

As I understand nobody says that *link (i.e. *dst) is initialized, so it
could be
reading uninitialized value. Not fatal, but not good as well.
May be it is better to use something like rte_atomic64_read().
