Subject: [PATCH] net/bonding: change link status check to no-wait

[ upstream commit 8ae9c69a2b7d36ca9283748f37c4aa8da06a3b6c ]

In 2 modes (802.3ad and TLB) of the link bonding driver, monitoring of
link status is used to determine the active slaves to use. These
functions are currently using the rte_link_link_get which could block
for up to 9 seconds, depending on the slave device.

In the 802.3ad periodic callback and in the TLB slave callback the
link status of slaves are checked using rte_eth_link_get function.

This patch changes to the no-wait version of the link get function to
avoid the possible issues which could be introduced if this call was
to block for an extended period of time.

Fixes: 46fb43683679 ("bond: add mode 4")
Fixes: 7c76a747e68c ("bond: add mode 5")
